Use it.
FR – Yes, I really don’t know when I may combust.
Not at the moment. Will be this spring.
Yes
We are required to
I use FR gloves and thats it. But I am very unlikely to face situations that would require FR clothing.
Use it
No
no i dont but this would of come in handy last year when i had a bald spot burnt on to the side of my head from a blank fireing grenade :[
Yep, things have a way of getting warm in a hurry.
Absolutely FR if I can get it. Being SWAT, you never know when someone will set the house on fire. Bangs have a nasty way of doing that too.
CONUS with fortunately so far a low threat for the need of FR, but the need for it is coming so I’ve started looking for more FR stuff.
Use it
No. I’m a civvie so there’s not need to :P.
Use it for work.
Nope. Ninjas can’t catch you if you’re on fire.
No. My uniform issue predates FR
perfect for when its snowing at the range
I use it
Use FR base layers, unfortunately AF is still skimpy in FR uniform issue unless you’re a flyer or AFSOC.
I use it for work as much as possible. Better safe than sorry…
Only around fires!
When it’s available yes.
I’m a civvie too, so no.
FROG is so much better than the MCCUUs I’ll take it any day. And everything when I go anywhere is FR. At least for the next few months lol
Only when required for work, and currently thats rare.
FR balaclava and gloves all the time.
Don’t need where I am. : )
Sometimes, overseas on mission yes but on the base ,no. I do use nomex gloves here CONUS while in the field.
No, I never really have the need to.
Yes
It’s what all the cool kids are doing.
No, I hope I don’t need it, i try not to ride in Chevy Volt’s
Don’t use FR, because I`m a civilian. A FR beanie would be cool for the campfire though!
I wear FR clothes every day at my job at the Fire Department. This beanie would be awesome!
only when the its not cold outside. not sure why everything has to be fr but my ecwcs
Used to, don’t really need them now.
Naw.
I have been issued a ton of FR.
Use it while deployed.
Absolutely, you never know
Once it became available for issue, I don’t leave the wire without it. Plus, now I check my Soldiers for FR during my PCCs.
Use it…
Use it. Seriously, vac-packing is for food.
Absolutely use it. Going downrange without FR is no different than going downrange without body armor. It’s another way to ensure that if SHTF, you have a better chance of pushing through.
FR gloves..otherwise no
Use it.
Yes I use it during tactical training and missions
Use it.
I would.
