16. End of an Era
New firefighter in my city. Had just finished 5 months of academy and graduated the night before. His whole family was there, the mayor, half the city council, and the fire chief pins his badge, and then he was assigned to a station.
The rookie was advised to report to the police department the next morning for tactical driver training (obstacle course and skid pad).
Dude shows up the next morning at the police department an hour late, still drunk from all the celebrating from the night before. Not only fired but arrested for DUI.
That’s the end of his firefighting career.
