5 years for the navy. I am a diesel mechanic by trade, but have had to fight a few small fires, but one mean fire with a few thousand gallons of diesel, and one mean class charlie in a switchboard that melted 3 1600 amp 3 phase circuit breakers. Also about a million fire drills.

Started as a cadet in 1976, riding the engine when I turned 18 in 1979 for Henrico Co. Virginia. We retired the horses soon after that.....https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...post&p=925864#
