Hey Im a fellow firefighter and haven’t been foramaly diagnosed, but from what I hear from this web site and the results of my quiz I’m pretty sure I am ADD. I have been on the job for about 5 years as a career firefighter and 5 as a volunteer. I don’t know how I made it through the academy and EMT school. The reason I say I don’t know how I made it through is because I struggled with school my whole. I recently went through Paramedic school and ended up failing out. It wasn’t be cause of a lack of effort. I really tried as hard as I could. I always had focus issues in class. When the question was possed does anybody have any questions I ould never have any. Partially because I didn’t want to be that person who never got it or I would lose focus during lecture, so some times I wouldn’t get all the info. I love this job and want to do it untill I can’t anymore, but I fear I have already started experiencing some of the issues you have had and are having. I have been with my current crew and station for about three years now. I have positioned myself as far away from the chiefs and training staff. I do want to advance maybe some day become a captain. I don’t know if that will happen because of my ADD
