congrats man! i've got 2 uncles that do that and they love it. if i was going to get a service job, it'd definitly be a firefighter... EVERYONE loves to see a firefighter, but nobody is happy to see the cops. chillin' at the firehouse liftin and pulling pranks on guys and occassionally getting to but out a hellacious blaze would be pretty exciting! those guys get some nice benefits as well. i hope you love every minute of it
