BA`s

[Manuel]

I pass too, yay

[Toast]

I'm sorry, neither of you pass the 5 (five) person panel. Even you E, yes we all know that you take half naked pics of yourself in your PPE. I hope to god you washed it AND your hands after that  :wink:

[backburn]

Well I'm back now mother nature called had prank call on the fire phone and got kicked off the net.

I am here to stay sorry E that keeps me in all the way.  

I have had a good day fishing and caught a whopping big fish. What you would call a fantastic day. The main thing is yes we need a good medical just like Toast has said please put it in to practice.   :lol: :lol: :-D :-D

[PF_]

I had a wonderful day too ate a big fish :-D mm barramundi!

[Toast]

Do you pass the BMI for fishing?

[Manuel]

Which one backburn?

[CFS_Firey]

Well I do not like a person who goes of on there own in BA I prefer the one that stays with me and work as a team of 2 not 1.

I am neather old nor young just one that has done a few years in BA and would like to trust my fellow person beside me. We still get the job done.

backburn, are you saying that young and fit BA wearers don't work as a team?  As a young BA wearer, I take offense to that... If you have members that wander off, that's not because they're young, or because of the training course, its probably because have a learning disability....

Better tell people the top one is slightly edited :P

[Manuel]

oh yea sorry toast :-D,

The CFS is bringing in a new Medical for BA anyway, here is the Criteria:

A) The candidate must weigh above 75kg and below 105kg.
B) The candidate must be not shorter than 5'8" and not taller than 6'2"
C) The candidate must have hair of a colour of either blond or brown
D) The candidate must pass a panel of 5 (five) persons who grade the looks and overall masculine appearance of the candidate

Sounds like you are grading the next candidates for the CFS Calender :-D :-D :-D :lol:

Well, didnt this thread have a good weekend!!!

I have a BMI of less than 20 (last I checked anyway). Does that make me a bad BA operator, dont think so. The same can be said for some over a BMI of 35.

As for the person with cancer. The Doctor obviously thought there wasnt an issue, and thats all that needs to be said on that.

Being a good firefighter/BA operator is a combination of: Knowing your limits, knowing what your doing, REASONABLE physical fitness (which has been debated many times before).

**Try to use a bit of discretion with some of the comments guys, stereo typing doesnt go down well with a lot of people....

[Timbo]

There could be a victim in a fire with a BMI of anything 40 plus and you would have to drag them out. (emphasise drag)

All the more reason why Garth's 'Rescue mat' should become standard stowage for all BA Brigades.  It will reduce injuries to BA Operators, and reduce the air consumed when extracting a casualty.  AND - it can be used on a downed firefighter wearing BA as well.

So only butch girls are allowed to do BA then...?   :|

[backburn]

I see that both pictures are OK to me. Well CFS_firey no I do not mean that at all my brigade has mostly members under 22. We also have only 2 members in CABA over 44 the other 4 are under 22, my comment was that it should not matter if your Doctor thinks you can do BA with a BMI of over 35 you should be able too. It all ways helps to keep in the younger members the team factor in BA.  My brigade are all OK but there are a few who are not.  Would gladly get Garth's 'Rescue mat' for each brigade or truck in our Group.

[Manuel]

I just have to post this pic, I think that CFS member is a champ :x

[Mike]

Its all about energy conservation  :wink:
