I'm not a super hispeed pararescue ninja rapelling from an SR71 going Mach3 at 100' above the Everest :P
That's mainly searching for lost individuals in the woods or along a river, sometimes finding a plane crash and stuff like that. Nothing more. The helmet is a requirement to make sure we are visible to each other so we don't become the ones who need being rescued

I have an opportunity to work for a vac truck company that does HAZMAT stuff, just not sure if that's a direction I'd like to go.

Of course that'd be good, however at this level, this is absolutely not necessary. Most people (at least around here) are retirees looking to stay active and be helpful to their communities.
