OR ..... if you really can't sleep, phone the Regional MFS manager and as him or phone the DO in charge of training and as him.

At the end of the day, it makes little difference, Mt gambier was an execption to the traditional intake in MFS - time will tell if they use this style again (i.e. offer retained firies first)

I mean ohhh really, you try and tell that to Little Johnny Binglebum's mum. He committed suicide last month because he failed his beep test by .027secs on the first go and therefore failed entry to the SAMFS.And that's all he ever wanted to do when he grew up, poor bugga won't get the chance now will he

. His poor mum can't even look at a BRT and when she hears a siren poor woman ends up in the fetal position. So don't tell me it makes little difference, more importantly you tell Little Johnny's mum

Little Johnny Binglebum would ahve failed the psych test if a beep test can throw him over the egde. (had to put in that pun, just had too)

Dont worry Johnny Slob is trying out for MFS next intake, he might make the beep test.

I really dont think the question is anyones business. You can ring whoever you like but I am very doubtful they will talk to you about it, its called the privacy act.

Big Yellow Gongbeater · « **Reply #107 on:** October 04, 2006, 07:51:33 PM »

Well i'm proud to say, I passed my beep test on the first go, don't have a problem sayin it loud and sayin it proud

Oh and by the way, the privacy act will only prevent the release of the individuals name or any method of identifying them, not the fact that the process was altered.

Just for info, passing the beep test doesn't ensure selection.

Now Now Children play nice

by the sound of things becoming a Full Time MFS Fire Fighter is much harder than getting in as a Part Time Retained one as the fitness and other requirements are much more rigorous

K99 you are obviously in the MFS, so I ask can you still maintain 9.6 or have you slipped to the way side a tad....The Mt Gambier boys and girls would prob run rings around most full time MFS people now, cause they actually see fire and have to get gear off the truck.

I don't know why I'm stickin up for him coz he's a turd , but K99 still exceeds 9.6 and yes all it doesnt guarantee selection, but it's the first step (well meant to be)

I get it pumprescue, If my fitness ever falls to your level, which will probably happen when I turn 80 years old, all I have to do to keep my fitness up is to look at fire and takes things off a truck.

Quick ring up Australias Institute of Sport and tell them your secret on how to maintain fitness. Imagine how fit our athletes would be if they justed looked at fire and remove gear from a truck!!.What about if they put the gear back on the truck. They would be so fit.

Is a MFS Retained firefighter on a employment contract for a certain number of years or permanent ?

I understand that two types of MFS retained exist, like the new Mt Gambier permanent day crew & the standby crew.

Just comparing the work provisions to other forms of work. eg permanent part-time, part-time, permanent full-time, etc.

It was posted earlier that the commitment was to stay for 4 years at Mt Gambier before moving stations, so i was wondering if this was controlled by a contract.

tssk tssk tssk, Medevac personal attacks I mean really

"cocky as filtered" yeah pretty much you can afford to be when ya actually know ya stuff

"full of filtered" man that cuts to the bone

as opposed to soo many of the "supposed learned ones" who post here and have actually attended less fire calls in the last ten years than I attended last week

but I won't hold it against ya medevac, after all "I know it's only rock'n'roll and I like it"

medevac · « **Reply #121 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:27:48 PM »

sorry mate, dont take it as personal...

im just noticing by the trend of your posts that you are extremely full of yourself.

Its all well and good to know YOUR stuff.

you just sounds liek a bit of a crank.... 'tis all good.

The joys of forums, multiple accounts to single users and hilariously outlandish discussion...

Maybe we could get back to the Mt. Gambier MFS topic..?

Big Yellow Gongbeater · « **Reply #124 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:39:17 PM »

ha ha ha all good I don't take it personal, its all a laugh.
Why a laugh, because take a step back and really have a look at the majority of posts around here, bucket loads of firey's (MFS and CFS) do actually come here and have a look, and then the general conversation is "OMG did you see what those gongbeaters have been sayin on that website?" So to me that suggests the actual cranks and gongbeaters are several of the posters located here.

So kickback, relax and enjoy the ride
