FDNY recruits ballers by letting them know there'll be plenty of time for balling.


Interesting choice of a visual, FDNY. You're obviously looking to increase the number of black City firefighters. OK. Good. You're also seemingly letting us know that you have to be in decent shape to fight fires. True enough. I know your physical testing is quite tough. But, uh, is this photo supposed to represent two fireman on duty or off? Cause if they're on duty, I'm a little concerned about this particular house's response time. Also, why place this ad in New York Press, which nobody reads?

Join the FDNY. Pretty please. You won't have to grow up. You won't have to keep to a strict schedule. You won't have to quit wearing sneakers. Just go on being the slacker you are, LeRoi. Us honkies will go on cleaning up your mess. 'Kay?

They're on duty 24 hours straight, twice a week. That's a 48 hour week. Office folks work about that but get to go home every night.
