If it's just one story it's a stripper pole?

Is the stripper included in the cost?

For a small shipping and handling fee.

Im more into function than flash. I was given a SOG Multi tool that was engraved.

I know there are allot of ideas thrown out there but when I graduated the academy my parents and my brother got me two different Streamlight flashlights. To me this has been one of the most useful and life saving tools a Firefighter can ever own. When I went though my second academy for the FDNY that was one of the big points the instructors made to always have a good light.

Here is what I got and love. I will never buy any other light than Streamlight ever again because of there customer service. I have givin my lights a good beating on the fire ground and any problems they have fixed or replaced the parts no question asked.

This is just a fire academy? Save your money for when he finishes drill school after he gets hired.

Semantics. I'd just about bet that what you call drill school, the OP's department calls academy...

I say get a him a Phenix Tl-2 leather helmet

So my husband will be graduating from Academy in a few short months. I'm starting to think of how to celebrate. Looks like they are going to rent out the Union Hall for a huge joint class party, so I don't have to worry about anything like that. But I want to get him a really nice fire-related gift.

Any suggestion? I thought of a St Florian medal, but I don't know if he'd wear it.

FWIW my wife bought me a St. Florian pendant and chain about 16 years ago after being in the fire service a few years. I'm still wearing it today. You don't have to spend much money to get one, so you could still get that as well as one of the other things mentioned.

Hey all! I posted here before, a few months back, and asked this question and got some great responses. But I tried to find the old thread, and now it's gone. (Now found, and merged with this one.)

So my husband graduates next Friday from the CDF Fire Academy. He gets his unit day and station assignment next week. I need to find him a great graduation gift!

His best friend is getting him a St Florian medal. I was going to get him a watch, but have since decided against it. He badly wants a leather helmet, but those are out of my price range. He mentioned something about getting a knife to wear on his scba belt. Any good knife suggestions? Is wearing a knife in full gear practical? Any other suggestions?

And before it's brought up, steak dinner and BJ night is already planned.

Haha, I remember your original post, if only for the last part that you mentioned.

If you look in your profile you can find old posts that you made. Here's your old thread:
Here (Graduation Gift?)

Sorry, don't have many ideas other than those that were mentioned before.

Take care. And congrats to him.

[IrishWife]

Ahhh, now I see my old posts! Thanks yjbrody!

You're married? You need to have a conversation with my wife.......No....Wait.....that could be bad....She'll turn you to the dark side......."Luke, I have a headache."

Gerber is a good brand and not too pricey. Also Ka Bar and SOG are very good knives. You can never go wrong with a good multi tool either.

Congrats to the hubby on the graduation

I could understand her saying that!
