American drama of life

Chapter 41 Onboarding and Spoofing

"I don't rely on them, but myself."

Luke comforted: "You don't believe in their abilities, don't you believe in mine?"

"Don't think about using that trick again..."

Seeing that Luke was talking, Maggie wanted to use her actions to interfere with her, so she couldn't help but give Luke a blank look, and then she was blank again.

"Tomorrow happens to be my first time on duty... so don't try to understand, just feel~"

Luke was deeply afraid that Maggie would be endless, so that he would not be able to rest well and enter the job in the best state, so he could only guide her with mysterious and mysterious sentences.

Then a time pause was used.

I have to say this is very useful.

The next day.

Luke got up early and drove to Fire Station 51.

"Hi, I'm Luke Ball, trainee firefighter at Fire Station 51."

Luke carried his fireman's bag, walked to the door of the fire station, and introduced himself to the fireman who was leaning against the ladder car to shine his shoes.

"Great, I'm Joe Cruz."

The inch Latino man put down his shoes and brushes, looked at Luke, and smiled: "We've been waiting for you for a long time. Is the competition for trainee firefighters so fierce now?"

Then, without waiting for Luke to answer, he led him inside, and introduced as he walked: "Luke Ball, right? Come with me, the gym is here.

This is the kitchen and dining room, but the TV inside is broken.

There's the equipment room over there, and there's the rescue bastards sitting there, and they're taking the table. "

Luke followed and saw a group of people sitting at the table, one reading a magazine, one playing with a cell phone, and two others working on a large chainsaw.

After taking a glance, he withdrew his gaze and continued to follow Cun Tou Joe.

"Many newcomers are high-skilled, and they want to join the rescue team before they have completed their apprenticeships. Luke Ball, you are good."

Cuntou Joe gave Luke a surprised look, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to lead him to familiarize himself with the venue: "This is the tower, rest and bath are on it."

Luke smiled reservedly.

Being friends with Ruth Andy, who has been in the fire station since childhood, really learned a lot of useful workplace tips.

Like just now.

Fire Station No. 51 is a big station. In addition to the ladder trucks, water tank trucks, and ambulances in the general site, there is also a rescue vehicle.

A rescue team driving a rescue vehicle is responsible for personnel rescue missions in an area.

Because the responsibility is to save people, the rescue team is known as the elite of the firefighters, and it is the dream place of many motivated firefighters.

Because the rescue team itself is responsible for the rescue work of personnel in multiple fire stations, entering, the salary is higher and the honor is more, and it is easier to get promoted.

This is the same as surgical interns who want to drill in the operating room as soon as they enter the hospital, rather than being a nurse in the ward, or examining the rectum and sewing wounds in the outpatient clinic, which are not very growth-oriented dirty work.

Not to mention the rookie trainee firefighters who have heard the legend, the old firefighters who have been in the cloud echelon and the water tank fleet for many years, as long as they have a little bit of self-motivation, they want to apply for the rescue team.

In the firefighter system, the rescue team is the most upstream of the chain of contempt.

To save people can get the maximum time reward, and Luke will definitely join the rescue team later.

But Luke understands that now he is not an official firefighter, and he has not joined the union. If something is wrong, he can easily be fired.

At this time, it is still necessary to stabilize the position of the cloud echelon first.

According to the professional words that Ruth learned from being a firefighter for many years, she said: "Don't be a crow!"

It means that when the crow sees a group of peacocks, it walks over and spreads its wings, trying to attract the attention of the peacocks like the peacocks open their screens, and then blend in.

But what it doesn't know is that the result of this is that it will not be recognized by the peacock, nor will it be rejected by its former peers. It will not be able to return to the crows, and there will be no land on both sides. Finally, it disappears alone.

"Otis, this is Luke Ball, the new trainee firefighter."

Joe introduced to a small mustache.

"New here."

The short mustache Otis immediately smiled: "Can I call you Luke? Luke, are you religious? A priest just came to our fire station to listen to our confession today, and you just caught up..."

"I believe in science."

Luke euphemistically offered the common language of scientists.

"You don't believe in religion?"

The short mustache Otis stopped smiling.

Cuntou Joe couldn't help laughing beside him, and joked: "Otis, Luke doesn't look like an ordinary rookie at first glance. If you want to find the happiness of an old firefighter from him, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"This is not fair!"

The short mustache Otis muttered.

"Before you, Otis was a reserve trainee in the station."

Inch Joe explained to Luke.

"Oh."

Luke laughed: "Is he religious?"

"letter."

Inch Joe suppressed a smile and said.

"Then you must have confessed a lot of privacy to the priests in Fire Station No. 51."

Luke looked sympathetically at the senior who had just changed his identity.

"Hahaha."

Cuntou Joe couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed loudly: "Luke, so you really understand."

"You come from a family of firefighters?"

The face of the short mustache Otis Caucasian suddenly turned black.

Tradition is tradition because it is passed down from generation to generation.

But tradition is not necessarily all good, it may also be a bad habit.

It is a tradition for the old firefighters of the fire station to spoof the new reserve trainees.

For example, you just asked the question of whether you believe in religion or not.

Once the letter is written, the reserve trainee will be arranged to repent and pray, and the so-called priest who sits opposite and does not meet is actually all the old firefighters in the station.

They will, in the name of the priest, spy on the shameful privacy of the newcomers to satisfy their bad tastes.

Even used it to give the reserve trainees some shameful nicknames.

Repentance in religious belief is a process of emotional release, to release all the evil in the heart and the evil that has been done, so that you can do it lightly after you go out.

Many rookie trainees don't know this bad habit. They really think that the priest is coming to the fire station, and they reveal their hearts, but they don't know that all the fire station firefighters are hidden on the opposite side.

Therefore, more than one or two people died in public.

This mustache Otis is apparently one of them.

Now, like those seniors, he also wants to get back from Luke to make up for the shame he has suffered.

"I have several friends who are from fire fighting families."

Luke laughed: "Have heard some stories about this."

At this moment, the bell rang, followed by the dispatcher's voice: "There is a traffic accident on the Brooklyn Bridge, Fire Station No. 51, Izumo elevator, ambulance, water tanker, rescue vehicle."

"Rookie, keep up!"

Everyone ran to the car they belonged to, and Otis, the short mustache, turned his head and yelled at Luke as he ran.

But when he turned his head to look back, there was still Luke.

In front of the ladder car.

By the time he arrived, Luke was already in the car in his full fire suit.
