I am thinking about joining the Navy’s Emergency Fire & Rescue squad…any advice?

I am just looking for some general advice and information about what I would be getting myself into. i.e. Is it exciting? Salary? What can I expect my daily life to be like? etc…any info would be great!

are you talking CSAR? the Navy doesn’t have a fire and rescue squad.. CSAR is combat Search and Rescue.. and no DCs are involved( the Navy’s closest analogy to a Firefighter)

Pay is based on your paygrade, not your rating.

most are aircrew ratings and it is EXTREMELY Hard to qualify for let alone get accepted into and pass the training.
