I am a firefighter and work 3 days on then 3 days off, 3 nights on then 3
days off, repeating through the year. Is there a way to set that up in
outlook other than going through the whole year one day at a time.

Outlook doesn't have any ability to handle schedules like that.

I just played around with an All Day Event. Recurring every 6 days and of 3
days duration. That will then show on the Calendar for 3 days of work, 3
days without work.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual
way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of
complaining.
