how does one go about applying for DOD credentials?

I believe the job description gives a bunch of info. Might be worth taking a look at this topic too.

DOD certifications are through different Federal Installations. Back a few years ago I took the DOD Haz Mat Awareness and Operations at Stewart Air Base as well. Seems like DOD certifications are definitely worth the training, since from my experiences it's more hands on.

Local installations that offer DOD courses to Federal Firefighters:

West Point

Fort Monmouth, NJ

Bucks County, Penn

MFRI-Maryland Fire Rescue Institute

Stewart Air Base??

As a federal firefighter we are also able to challenge out on exams if we already have NYS level.
