Woman joins FDNY despite failing crucial fitness test

[Jarlaxle]

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.

Gee... linkypoo to back up your crazy-assed shit?

Just the mouse in his pocket talking to the voices in his head.

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.”

First time in FDNY history, they allow someone to become a firefighter who failed the physical test.

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.

That's how Progressives destroy everything they run

 

[skye]

There is political correctness and then there is political insanity.

How can you lower the standards and let people join regardless of their fitness? just to make them happy???

This is impossible, total madness!

I am watching from the distance the continuing Decline and Fall of the US ...it's just a matter of time.

"Under the FDNY’s new hiring policy, probies must earn at least 75 percent on the combined requirements of academics, hands-on skills and physical fitness.

Wax had a high grade-point average on her academics, which officials determined offset her FST deficiency, the insider said."

She met the requirements.

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

And child molesters will molest, so let's repeal those laws. Eh?

Lets just do the best we can to enforce the laws.

Doesn't matter if she aced the academic test 100%. She failed the physical test to be a firefighter. If she can't pass the physical test what the hell is she going to do when in a fire situation that requires her to do what she can not do, what she failed in the test? Who the hell would want to partner with her? She's incapable of having her own back let alone anyone elses.

Their new hiring policy is retarded, likely implemented by a retarded leftist who thinks that everyone deserves a trophy just for showing up ... and here you are, applauding someone who failed yet was given a pass anyway. How do you idiots remember to breathe on your own?

 

[OKTexas]

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.

Or quits. Either way would be good, but they shouldn't put her on full duty until she's fully qualified.

Any bets if she dies in a fire her family will sue the city for putting her in a dangerous situation she wasn't qualified to handle.

She met the jury rigged requirements. Firefighting is a brawn based profession. All that book learning isn't going to do shit if she has to drag her partner out of a fire with minimal oxygen in the face of an advancing flame wall.

And what's the best enforcement we have for keeping felons from legally buying guns?

like any other crime, arrest, convict, and imprison the ones that are found owning one. I also don't have an issue with instant background checks at gun stores, as long as the system works, is quick, and isn't corrupted by people who's true goal is to restrict arms ownership by law abiding citizens.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?

If someone dies because of this, the DISGUSTING FILTH in the Lame Stream Media will NEVER report it.

And you know I'm right

There is NO enforcement that'll keep felons from buying guns, or anything else they might want to buy. People, including felons, will get their hands on whatever they want if they have enough money.

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.

Can she carry a grown man out of a burning building? I'm betting she can't, dumb fuck.

Woman To Become First FDNY Firefighter Who Failed Physical Fitness Test
The FDNY has turned into a joke. Most people that sign up for the job are white males, but that is apparently not ok, so they need minorities and women.
This story and it's resonanc makes me so angry.
If you can't physically handle the job, you should not be doing it, especially where lives are at stake. Absolutely awful imho.

Someone has to die in order for someone else to be politically correct. That IS where we are.
