DD I would just like to to let you know that I knwo a few guys that were ex-special forces who joined the dept. they are great at there job strong, obey orders the types of guy syou would follow into a fire anywhere cause they have your back--I do caution you but hope to not discourage you but this is a high stress job full of black humor, and life or death decisions, sometimes juat as in war we have to make a split second decision as to who will live and who will die, NOT to put a damper on it It helps me so much to focus and do my job that I wish you the sam e just dont think its a cake walk compared to th e horrors of war it is just a different type of war fought with different weapons.
