@GrimeyTube That blows!

@psp310 it is a 10 second seal check, the arm motion is just an easy way to count the seconds, thus the paced in and out motion.

Just a tip, you have to make sure your hood goes over the edge of your facepiece.

I wish we could do it without gloves!...we have to do ours with our gloves on and under 40 seconds
-
Here in Michigan you have 60 seconds, matter of the fact is announcing everything you do or they will fail you. If you just do it they fail you. If you don't complete dressing and say everything you pass.

@jovanblineau I just did that yesterday, 1:25. But I didnt say anything, just put the clothes on.

10 second seal check
I'm sorry, but that was slow. Here in Mississippi we have to go from no gear to donning full PPE and SCBA in UNDER 2 mins. So we cant take a min and 30 seconds to get just the SCBA on. And even though we have to do it fast it has to be all done correctly. If there is anything wrong with our gear after we put it on we fail.

You're right, this was slow. In fact, i would even say that i took my sweet time on this one. The state only requires that we don our SCBA in under 1:45 and that's exactly what i did. I wish they would drill us to don full PPE and SCBA but unfortunately, they dont. Also, this is a fire academy at a college, not for a hiring process in a department. In South Florida, each department has their own academy that they put you through once you are hired which are tougher than the one pictured above.

i see. well hey, as long as you know how to properly get all of your gear on in a reasonable amount of time thats all that matters.
