Heroes

| April 17, 2017

Ol’ Poe has asked Jonn to post this video to remind all of us how completely helpless we are when it comes to competing for women with those select few among us who have somehow slipped the surly bonds of earth to become the surly chick magnets that every single one of them believes himself to be.

Of course, the proper sunglasses selection is essential.

Firefighters among us are to be forgiven for murderous thoughts and truly nasty comments.

BWAHAHAHA!

That’s all I got. Just BWAHAHAHA!

11B-Mailclerk

Oh, they have slipped the surly bonds of Mirth!

Pinto Nag

Scrawny bugger. I’d take the firefighter.

Ex-PH2

Ditto. Tell the zoomie to drop his coveralls.

The Air Force Academy! Be a Drone amoung Men!

Veritas Omnia Vincit

They need to use a pilot with a man’s body, might help a little instead of that teenage boy in the oversize jumpsuit.

But a little levity in the morning is always welcome…

OWB

Uhmmm. No. Just NO!

The Firefighter could easily stuff a feather up that Butterbar’s ass and use him as a dart!

2/17 Air Cav

I thought it was a commercial poking fun at the USAF. Turns out that it was produced by the USAF Academy. It’s one of those spirit videos. Was their choice of pilot intentionally bad or was that the best they could do? I dunno.

Ex-PH2

Sorry, zoomie guys. If it ain’t a Marine, it ain’t believable. (Snerkkkk!) And yes, the Fire Department people are some of the hunkiest hunks EVER!!!!

Jon The Mechanic

I routinely post pictures of firefighters with dogs, cats, babies, etc on a friend’s FB wall, then I ask her how she liked the pictures of said dogs, cats, babies, etc.

She responds that all she saw were the firefighters.

One thing they don’t tell you about Nomex flight suits is that they are light sensitive. A few years after I retired I had the occasion to dig a flight suit out of the closet as I needed some suitable clothes to wear while doing some ground testing on an aircraft mod.

Nomex shrinks if it doesn’t get exposed to light for a couple years. It was just a tad too tight to wear. It affected both the green and desert tan versions.

Ex-PH2

Well, that is most creative way I have ever seen someone use to say ‘I didn’t gain any weight. My clothes shrunk.’

Grunt

Buahahahaha!!

OldSoldier54

I was just thinking that!

Claw

Now I totally dispute that theory. I have the top part to the Army two piece Nomex flight suit that was issued to me some 45 years ago (tag says date of manufacture was 1970) and has been hanging in a shadow box for the past 25 years out of direct sunlight.

I just went and pulled it out of the box and tried it on. Still fits me just like the day I first put it on.

But maybe it was made by a different contractor than a AF Nomex suit./smile

USAFRetired

I always thought those two piece army nomex in addition to being poor fire protection were maternity smocks. If it was in a shadow box it was still getting light even if not direct sunlight it was light.

That is unlike the linear foot of space in the walk-in closet my wife allowed me it got no light direct or otherwise.

Not only haven’t I gaine weight I’ve gotten taller as I’ve started to out grow my skin as it grows through my hair.

Claw

You are one lucky man if your wife allowed you a linear foot of space in a closet.

Me, no such luck. There are five closets plus two coat racks here in stately Claw Manor all full of female garments and shoes.

My allowable closet space consists of a couple of milk crates in the bed of the pickup out in the garage and even that space is in danger of being usurped at a whim.

Such is life./smile

OWB

Yep. That closet shrinkage thing probably is due to the lack of sustained light. Vitamin D is so necessary for clothing.

Uh-huh.

Cacti35

We always said the “God made deputy sheriffs because even Firemen needed heros”

The Other Whitey

You know what all cops have in common with firemen? They want to be firemen.

Sorry, career firefighter with four cousins & two uncles who are cops.

Fyrfighter

To follow up on what TOW said, do you know what the difference between a cop and a firefighter is? The firefighter scored about 10 points higher on the civil service exam..

3rd generation firefighter… with a few cop friends..

Fyrfighter

If you want a good laugh, look up cop vs firefighter on u-tube.. the puppet version…not too kind to cops, but hysterical

The Other Whitey

Officer Perry: “I get shot at.”

Fireman Jake: “I get laid.”

Officer Perry: “I hear people call me a hero sometimes.”

Fireman Jake: “I hear people call you a dick.”

The Other Whitey
Fyrfighter

ROFL, that’s the ones… i believe there’s more than 10 of them.. had a cop friend threaten to taze me once over those.. lol

Silentium Est Aureum

As I use 115kv bus work for monkey bars….

Mark Lauer

I’d believe it if it was MARINES.

Guard Bum

Well I am a Fire Fighter and that video is very realistic on what we do every day. I personally have found that donning an SCBA just messes up my hair which makes it harder for the hot chicks we rescue to run their fingers through.

One minor mistake in the video though, we always use a double caribiner when ascending a cable through burning buildings with a winsome brunette carefully clutched in our manly embrace. Otherwise, it was a pretty accurate representation of our daily routine.

RGR 4-78

Yes.

MSgt (ret), USAF

Oh my Lord. Could they have picked a sorrier excuse for an Airman!!!! The flight suit doesn’t look good on many people, but that LT looks like he was wearing his daddy’s clothes. The video premise that the hot chicky would pick the pencil necked geek over the gay looking Fireman isn’t too far from the truth. Chicks today seem to be attracted to metrosexuals/hipsters in skinny jeans and man buns. Sad.

Ex-PH2

If the firefighter took the girl out of the flaming building, turned his flameproof jacket inside out to show a USMC camo pattern, and slung a Big Heavy Gun over one shoulder, I’d buy it.

But — well, sorry, zoomies!

The Other Whitey

Oh, they’re not flameproof, Ex. Just radiant-heat-resistant and only rated to 300 degrees. The flashover chamber gives any new guy an ACUTE appreciation for the limitations of your PPE.

The Other Whitey

Oh yeah, I zipline out of structure fires with my gear removed and a smokin’ brunette in my arms all the time!

This shit just makes me think of all the ways in which what I thought my career would be like when I was 16 turned out to be dead wrong. However, I can honestly say that this video still wasn’t quite as fake as an episode of “Chicago Fire.”

RGR 4-78

His Chief is going to chew his ass for throwing his helmet down and leaving it to burn up.
