Fire Protection at Goodfellow AFB?

So my mos is fire protection I found out and I can't find much information on the tech school besides its length. I heard that this career field has a high washout rate and that makes me kind of nervous. I'm not super strong but I'm not weak either, will basic prepare me or do I need to workout a lot more before hand? I've been told that this tech school is way more physical than others. What should I expect when looking at pt/training? Also how often are you in a classroom type setting studying? Any knowledge/advice is greatly appreciated!

Answer:

You have been given some great advise on how to stay safe in the sewing room. One thing that was not mentioned is something that happened to me when I was a teenager.I did not remove the straight pins while sewing and the needle hit a pin, folded the pin in half and pushed it into the bobin case area where it caused the machine to be out of timing. At the same time, the needle tip broke off and embedded itself in my eyebrow!!! Thank goodness I had a high powered magnet to remove the tip of the needle from my face. This all happened so fast. I removed every pin from then on, but I learned the hard way. And, I was thankful that the tip of the needle did not hit my eyelid and embed itself into my eye ball !! Being a professional seamstress, I have spent 40 hours a week or more sewing and or cutting fabric. There has been only one other time I hurt myself while sewing. I stitched through my index finger. Yeah, clear threw the finger. I thought my finger just got pinched but when I pulled my hand away, the machine moved. I thought my bracelet somehow got stuck on the machine. But immediately realized that I had sewn through my finger. I slowly turned to fly wheel to remove my finger from the needle. It was so creepy, I actually had the thread go clear through my finger. I cut the thread on the fingerprint side and pulled it out through the nail. I almost passed out. Not becuse of the pain, but because I got grossed out to think that an object pierced my finger. A spot of blood came out of my nail and my finger. I could not type for a few days, but that was the extent of the injury. I was lucky that I did not graze or go through a bone. So, pay attention to what you are doing. I have learned my lesson, the hard way.
HI Of course the on/off button turns the alarm on and off the panic button will make the alarm sound off in case you feel threaten or under attack. Good luck tim
unless its on fire dont worry anything new is gona burn off some grease and dirt for the manufactering run it again untill it stopsthrow in a few old towles or blankets so it has something to do
We had that happen to usbut only the scent of something not right. No smoke or fumes. Please call a appliance company in your area or the dealer in which you purchased it from. Better safe than sorry.
