well, this is posted I the wrong area, this thread is more about issues wiith the site as best I can tell, However...

The exam is going to be aseries of questions that will determine if you can handle some of the various stresses you will have to deal with in everyday life, as a career firefighter we all know that while ist can and does happen in the vollies as well, many things happen that can push you over the edge... responding to the reported Motor vehicle and finding your father has had a heart attack causing him to crash and you having to work on him, unsuccesfully, (happened to a freind of mine) or having to pull up to a house heavily involved and taking the proper steps to mitigate the fire
and remove the victems, pulling up on a med call and having the father of the infant hand the baby to you knwoing right away the child's neck is broken..shaken baby syndrome
respondig to a Motorcycle vs tractor trailer and realizing that the TT was driving from a parking lot to an to ramp the Biker didn't see the trailer across the road slid uder the trailer at the last minute but had his head run over.... as you might expect even worse when you find he was 18 and his 16 yo brother was riding with him and survived .... using a shovel to remove body parts
can all obviously take a toll on your brain..

the questions asked will be weird answer themhonestly, without being "stupid" dont be appalled when they ask if you fantisize about your Mother , and other seemingly rediculous questions like that its to see just how stable you are.. and potentially if you can handle the strain and stresses of dealing with what we do every day... you can believe your to manly to let it get to you , but sooner or later One inncident will dig deep into you and youwill e thoughts about it.. believe me..... IT coud be the silliest little thing , that pushes you off the deep end... and you either have to come to grips or loose your sanity...

these type of things effect differant people in differant ways.. but everyone gets some kind of effect
