My name is Chase and I am extremely interested in joining the Fire Service. I am looking for some advice from those with knowledge and experience and from those currently serving with a Fire & Rescue Service.
I applied for the Kent Fire & Rescue service in July 2005 and made it through the selection process. In April 2006 I had a letter congratulating me and informing me that I passed the Kent Fire and Rescue service selection process but unfortunatley I failed to meet their business requirements. I am still unsure what they ment by this and after a phone conversation with the recruitment team I still didn't manage to get a clear understanding.
Since all this has happened I have focused for on my current job, however this isn't a career for me and it's a career that I am after.
I am still young at the ripe old age of 24 and I have five years military experience behind me. I left the forces as a Lance Corporal and I believe the Fire service would utilise my full potential.
Can anyone out their offer me any advice? I have been thinking about looking in to the RAF fire service, any information from people serving with the RAF service would be appreciated.
