MFD Test Part 2

For those that don't know, the process to become a City of Milwaukee firefighter is a three-step test. The test, which is held once every four to five years based on demand (it's a dream job for many, aka thousands of applicants), begins with a written exam, followed by an oral exam, and finally a pass-fail physical. 

Part one, the written exam, was held last summer. The reqs to take the exam were pretty simple: fill out some paper work and have a valid drivers license. Approximately 4,000 men and women took that written exam. Once the scores are tabulated, you get a ranking that determines your eligibility to take the oral exam. I took that oral exam this week and feel confident on my performance. 

Odds are I won't find out how well I did for at least 6-8 weeks. Based on those results, I will again get ranked to determine if and when I would get into the academy. I know a few firefighters who waited nearly three years to get into the academy, and all have found it well worth the wait. In the mean time all I can do it keep my fingers crossed.
