I was told of a pilot who had a callsign of "1-0" (one zero). During his first flight with an instructor at API at NAS Pensacola they had an in-flight emergency and has to eject. So he had one take off and zero landings... hence 1-0

I've ran the numbers on this

Your salary would have to be fantastically higher in private sector WITH just a 401k to beat FERS+TSP.

Just need to stay in long enough to get the full FERS.

High pressure system deliversess water but smaller droplets

When the smaller droplets are exposed to heat they have a greater surface area and more readily convert to steam

When liquid water converts to steam it expands in volume like 800x and can effectively displace a lot of oxygen, snuffing the fire out with a smaller total amount of water

Low pressure system relies on more water to physically soak the fire
