If I'm going to need brain surgery, and many who read my blog believe I do, I'm going to want a neurological surgeon who was a "straight A" student and proficient in his field.
If my house is on fire and my cat (whose name is Barack Obama) needs to be rescued from the blaze, I want a firefighter who can break down the door and do whatever is physically necessary to rescue her.
Just kidding, I don't have a cat.
I don't want someone who has failed the fire department test 6 times and got a "free pass" on the 7th to arrive at the scene and try saving me or my loved ones if I could chose someone stronger who passed the test.
I'm talking about a woman named Wendy Tapia. She was allowed to conditionally graduate from the Fire Academy (of the FDNY) on May 17, 2013, in spite of her failing the running test. She blamed her last failure on a foot injury (or boo-boo).
Now she's to take her seventh go at the exam but critics are saying that she's going to pass because the fix is in.
She had been sworn in, the FDNY gave her the 5 shots to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes or less, but she failed it and quit the test. She has not worked an actual tour of duty, but political correctness will see to it that she passes on this go around.
Ms. Tapia is now 34 and works as a medical technician and among a group that was promoted to probationary firefighter and starts the 18-week training on Monday. This comes at a time when the FDNY has reduced its standards for the test, much like the Democrats have done for the "do-nothing" Hillary Clinton.
New York City had to shell out $98 million to settle a federal lawsuit charging bias against minority applicants, and the Big Apple doesn't want to go through a gender-discrimination suit at this point. They have enough problems with their socialist mayor DiBlasio.
There are only 49 female firefighters out of the 10,500-members on the force.
After her boo-boo in 2013, United Women Firefighters, a group comprised of retired FDNY women, convinced then-Commissioner Sal Cassano to allow Tapia to graduate and pass the test at a later time.
According to the New York Post, Lt. Elizabeth Osgood, a female firefighter, objected to Tapia being given special treatment. Of course, this caused Osgood from being promoted for months. And Capt. Paul Mannix, president of Merit Matters, an anti-quota group, was told to keep his mouth shut about Tapia's situation.
A reporter from the New York Post called a week ago but she hung up on him.
One can only hope that Tapia passes the test, gets assigned, and never fails to save a life due to her physical limitations.

test requirements aren't easy, but neither is battling a fire.
