Here in AMR Riverside no facial hair below the mouth so: Mustache is ok, but beard is a no no

I like to go over more than 20 because sometimes the valve opens to fast or it gets stuck and i hate takin a bp twice. But it sounds like you got it down. It is definitely a skill that has to be practiced

Depends where you work

oh if you're in decent shape you should be fine. Just carrying like 125 lbs up and down some stairs. No biggie. I did mine for riverside
