Considered the SES?

I'm currently in the SES (in one of the busiest units in the state infact) however there are a lot of things I am not impressed with some due to ses and some completely out of ses control. I'd like to stay with my unit but am finding myself getting more and more disillusioned.... i'm really trying hard not to start a rant here hahaha.

What kind of things do the Ops support brigades do?

By the way thanks for the replies everyone :)

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice on joining the CFS. I live in the Adelaide CBD and as such i'm not in the response area for any unit (Burnside is quite close.. but not close enough).

I've talked to some people I know who are active members and they told me it's possible to join in a partial sense as what I think they called an associate member. Basically this involves attending trainings as normal however not being given a pager, instead being called to take part in strike teams/secondary crews/planned events/etc.

My only concern is that I wouldn't want to take the place of a fully responsive member as I know many units have a members cap. Unless of course members without a pager are not included in these numbers.

Any information or advice would be very much appreciated!

Thanks
