Well worth the effort though Nate, training for the day one hopes will never ever happen for real.
Oh absolutely, I would much rather train every day for the unlikely event then have it happen and not be ready for it. I have been in a fire aboard ship before and if it had not been for the constant back breaking training we do we would have had a very bad LAST day.
So even though it hurts, even though we are either cold during training for flooding or sweating into our boots during firefighting training we are absolutely thankful for it when the day comes that our lives depend on it.
