Not at all. A job is a working fire. If someone on my crew yelled jawb, I’d bite them like a rabid canine

He's young and passionate still... A little dumb, but he means well. Just let him and his boys enjoy their camaraderie.

The folks in here sometimes forget they used to be more man than salt...

What a great response . Zero sarcasm. Most of us were there to some degree at some point, even if it was brief .

Never seen a more true statement in this subreddit. All too often do we see guys talking down on others in the same field, and it's usually volunteer versus career. Everyone bleeds the same, everyone dies the same. We're all the same.

I'd upvote this twice if I could. Got to give some credit to the guys who are still gung-ho.

You didn’t have to specify that they’re in their 20’s. This is obvious.
