News Stipe lands full-time job with fire department

HE doesn't seem to think he'll be retiring because of it...

He's actually been wanting to go full time for some time now. He was supposed to go through the tests to be eligible back in early 2018, but the TUF coaching gig came up and he had to bail on it. I'm not surprised people are thinking the timing of this is evocative of retirement, but I think it's just happenstance. A local TV news segment said the department he got the job with was, what with various retirements and one thing and another, down 7 men on their roster (2 other men got hired the day Stipe did.) That's real unusual; normally open slots are rare and hotly sought after. One has to strike while the iron is hot.

The guy has made millions from fighting, and he’s securing a govt like pension for life. He’ll be able to retire by the time his kids are going off to college and then just spend the rest of his days doing whatever he and his wife want. Sounds like a pretty good deal. Barring the dangers of being a FT firefighter of course.

Thankfully, fires aren't 10/10.

My mom actually called the fire department for that one time when I was about 5. They laughed and said ‘we don’t really do that’

Who are you supposed to call? Animal Control?

Someone ban this virgin, living in his mother's basement, posting zero IQ nonsense.

[Phisher]

good for him. probably making better money

At least firefighters get pensions.

 

[Reffson]

Happy for him. A good man.

I think we over estimate how many hours a week fighters train. Even if they train 3 hours a day 5x a week(and they only do this in training camp), that is only 15 hours a week. Add in his age and it makes sense.

Who are you supposed to call? Animal Control?

I think so.

 

[USA!USA!]

Admirable but weird.

I get the feeling Stipe doesn't mind getting away from his wife for awhile and thats why he still does it.

 

[joeson]

He only fights every year and half anyway . He needs to accumulate the vacation time to fight.

 

[Mangar]

Stipe will beat the shit out of the fires.

He can retire with pension

 

[TRUS8888]

He's done enough to be able to talk shit with his buddies at the firehouse and relive former glory days for the rest of his life.

While also, I assume, doing what he loves with the pressure of anxiety of fighting, while also getting health coverage and pension etc.

Good for him!

Correct me if I am wrong. I always assume that firefighters don't do much except chill and workout in the station unless they have emergency. They work like ten 24 hour days out of a month then get all of rest of the month off? I only assume because I knew a paramedic for the fire dept. She sleeps in her truck most of the time but her shifts are like 12 hours and sometimes 24.

cat rescues?

Very honorable, but you can’t be the greatest working a full time job.

Hes not the greatest
