[@biggpimpin]

Smoking that diddy pack

[@josephmedina6830]

Diddy pack is crazy

[@JakeHorsman-be2ym]

That’s what I was thinking hahahah

[@miguelcardenas874]

You guys look kinda similar

[@JakeHorsman-be2ym]

@@miguelcardenas874 what you on about Miguel

[@dylerturden8018]

Making sure everythings black and wet

[@FA761.]

Realest dude ever. Can make millions talking to suits yet doesnt care at all since he doesnt give a f about money. There will never be laid back moments, always more growth.

[@rafibernardo3122]

I was Uber driving a convention in Dallas where he spoke. The guy organizing it was my passenger and said he can make $60,000 per talk and turns down talks to smokejump

[@skoolzone]

Mental and physical growth that’s kind of terms I needed to hear is a young boy.

[@joshuahollar9880]

That's what makes him work, a lot of wisdom right there. I don't know if he will ever retire.

[@HMbeav8404]

Not clarifying the water part is wild, bros just thinking smokejumpers be fighting fires with camelbacks 😂

[@Lovetfirstsight]

Once you are enlightened, the use of money, besides having a nice little life for yourself, is to help others

[@kapiteinkapitein5868]

Respect

[@n8dznutts]

I see this dude all over jre had no idea he is a wildland smokejumper

[@pierrebear9433]

I wanna know what he backs in his red& blues, I bet he hasn’t shit I never seen or heard of. All I packed on fires ( type 1 not a smoke jumper) was socks under wear and a book lol it’s a hard fucking job

[@stephenscott2086]

Goggins doesn’t show up on the NSA (National Smokejumper Association) jumper directory. Does anyone know where or when he rookied?

[@stephenscott2086]

I’ll answer my own question. He washed out of training in the U.S. but it sounds like he went to Canada to Smokejump. I’ll give him credit for his creativity in getting what/where he wants.

[@rileymccormack1119]

He was in Fort St John, BC, Canada last summer. And he was definitely not making between $12 and $15/hour lol

[@L_Train]

​@@stephenscott2086 do you know how he washed out? I would imagine it was't the physical standards. Thanks for doing the initial research. Its important to fact check everything these days.

[@stephenscott2086]

@@L_Train He injured his knee during the winter while he was preparing and it never fully healed. Once he began smokejumper training it just got worse. He made it 1-2 days before he washed out. It was in Missoula.

[@L_Train]

@@stephenscott2086 cool. Thanks for the info and for your due diligence.

[@OrionsKelt]

Imagine you’re short one guy and your boss tells you there’s a new guy starting today and in walks Goggins

[@MyrriaM]

Can he explain why he stalked me in st. Louis instead?

[@Thomas-ib8fe]

WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS?! AND THE LOGS?!!!

[@luisvillarreal4743]

Thats whats up

[@silverslider562]

Meanwhile in California the starting pay at a McDonalds is $20 an hour 🤦‍♂️

[@declanhubbard]

Fr

[@santoscarrillo2996]

It takes years to become a smoke jumper. Gotta get your FFT2 then FFT1 among other quals probably some actual time on a shot crew. Something tells me because he's a seal they streamlined that smh 🤦

[@battlehusky5812]

3:35 huh as a former type 2 engine slug. Let see your red card.

[@Altjoni]

Sorry but 12-15 an hour aint gonna cut it for me chief. That's atrocious. I know they're basically getting payed 24/24 but still fukk that

[@earthphoenix7068]

It aint about the money for him 😂

[@trygvestarkovich583]

12 to 15 us dollars, maybe 20 Canadian dollars

[@haikeaintiaani9183]

goggins is jumpinch with bunch of aderalls

[@D_A-G]

Salaam, this guys sometimes amazes me how he talks like a Muslim or like he studied Islamic theology and philosophy. Well said brother! Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him told his companions something like this: I’m not worried about you facing tough life, I’m worried about you getting comfortable in wealth and easy life. Challenge builds character, makes you closer to the Creator. It humbles you, it calibrates you Islamically. Peace be upon you, Salaam.

[@jadeteasdale9198]

“The fire gets put out by us. And only us.” -sounds like a big ego Firefighting is a team effort! Takes a lot of ppl working together. You can get a lot done when no one cares who gets the credit for it. If he’s American, why is he doing it out of Canada.

[@Josh-p9s2d]

Wildland firefighters cut a break line so the fire cant continue to spread youre not putting the fire out

[@jadeteasdale9198]

We can put it out if it’s easily accessible, we have lots and lots of water and lots of people to do cold trailing mop if not, we put a line around it and let the fuel burn itself up

[@jadeteasdale9198]

Mop up

[@user-99.99]

Oh dear God.

[@stonedcodingtom9097]

Why is he losing millions on it?

[@MultiLiamryan]

Why you do that!? ‘Umm when I left the military I was looking for more’……more of WHAT!?! Chaos!? Confusion? Conflict!? Adrenaline!?!…..I got that last Friday night after a few beers and a chat with a woman…….there’s a difference between testing yourself, and chasing death!……..what this dude promotes is ‘death!, if you DONT stay hard’ the reason why this guy will go for a run at 2am on a winters morning is because he’s ‘unhappy’ that’s it………..EGO RUINS THE HUMAN SOUL! RUINS IT! THE MOMENT TOU GO ‘Too much’ ITS OVER!!!😂😂😂

[@cdinger7168]

I’m not buying any of this especially the pay. They aren’t just going to let you do this cause your in incredible shape/

[@readmycomment3157]

He's not just fit, he's qualified

[@MM-bw1lo]

The interviewer sucked, a high schooler has more clarity than this guy. Goggins schools people and this guy sounds like he eats cheese all day

[@demiandelossantos6268]

Growth ?😂😂

[@jonathanmolina2490]

This mofo is a smoke jumper too?

[@kryptonianog9418]

12 to 15 an hour for that is total bs . He's lying about the pay or job . One of em .

[@Jay_Pell04]

Both, lol.

[@norbert4519]

Just remember that was like 10 years ago when the pay was like that

[@JDiaz-rp2jx]

nope, wildland firefighters are massively underpaid

[@trygvestarkovich583]

You’re wrong, congress and Canadian parliament will not raise our wages, maybe the hazard pay reaches 25 an hour but base pay is normally $15 an hour

[@jadeteasdale9198]

I’m not a smokejumper. But am a wildland ff my pay is only 15$ an hr
