Woman joins FDNY despite failing crucial fitness test

[Theowl32]

The FDNY for the first time in its history will allow someone who failed its crucial physical fitness test to join the Bravest, The Post has learned.

Rebecca Wax, 33, is set to graduate Tuesday from the Fire Academy without passing the Functional Skills Training test, a grueling obstacle course of job-related tasks performed in full gear with a limited air supply, an insider has revealed.

“They’re going to allow the first person to graduate without passing because this administration has lowered the standard,” said the insider, who is familiar with the training.

Upon graduation, Wax would be assigned to a firehouse and tasked with the full duties of a firefighter.

Some FDNY members are angry.

“We’re being asked to go into a fire with someone who isn’t 100 percent qualified,” the source said. “Our job is a team effort. If there’s a weak link in the chain, either civilians or our members can die.”

Everyday folks, you will find another reason why the left wing politically correct assholes are fucking morons, and you will find another reason to hate them.

Until she can pass the fitness test, she needs to stay behind a desk, or better yet, keep her in a PT program until she's where she needs to be physically.

And they better not reduce the standards of the physical test itself to accommodate the weaker physical nature of women compared to men in order meet quotas and satisfy the politically correct left wing piles of shit.

Political correctness, equality, blah, blah gone amok.

Can she carry a child out of a burning building? I'm betting she can, and that's the only reason a person should ever run into one. Otherwise you stand around and put out the fire with a hose.

Any and all decisions based on political correct agendas are all decisions run amok. All of them, with out exception.

PC is a disease but this is just dealing with the fact that we made a bunch of he-man tests that weren't necessary in the first place.

A real shame. No excuse.

lol, the same crowd that doesn't care if felons can buy assault weapons is worried about a woman becoming a firefighter.

classic.

btw, no she shouldn't qualify if she didn't qualify. Perhaps though the test requirements could be reviewed and changed IF it can be demonstrated they don't need to be that demanding in certain categories,

if and only if.

Wrong as usual. What we care about is your banning us from having semi-automatic rifles (used the right name for you) in the child like hope that it will prevent criminals from using them.

And we all know that any changes to standards can be dressed up to look like they are not PC related, but anyone with half a brain knows better.

You do know that there are many on this forum who want to either get rid of background checks for gun purchases, or at the very least maintain the loopholes to get around background checks, don't you?

Those are people who want felons to be able to buy guns.

Wrong.

Until she can pass she SHOULD NOT GRADUATE

No, they don't want felons to buy guns. What they want to do is to be able to buy guns themselves without any hassles, a right they have as a law abiding citizen of this Country.

What your side wants to do is nibble away at gun rights until they are gone de facto, if not de jure.

And your typical "gun people want criminals to have weapons" shows your bias on this issue, and your dishonesty.

FYI ------ "FELONS" will get guns regardless..... Just a fact ...

Absolutely retarded.

 

[Freewill]

Can she save her partners life? Of course u miss the point. Or worse you make up bs as if it were the requirment.

 

[Freewill]

I would think this wont be a problem for very long. She will be out with a back injury soon or they will promote her out.

Actually, I question whether she could handle a hose! (Or a ladder, or an ax, or a sledgehammer, or the Jaws of Life.)
