I have been a FF and a paramedic for over 11 years now and I still feel like I got a world of stuff to learn. I'm confident in what I know and the things that I've seen, but I'm even more confident in the fact that there is so much out there in the Fire Service that I haven't seen or learned yet.

WOW, Well I'm one of the newbies. I've been an EMT-B since January and I'm in Fire academy now - Graduating in December. Love It??? YEAH! I sit at a desk all day long writing spec's, standards, guidelines and quotes as a contractor in the fiber optic telecom industry and I MISS being out in the field. I Discharged out of the Army National Guard in 2002 so I had no outlet until I joined my local station. WHAT A BLESSING! I Love Being a part of the Camaraderie, helping those in need (and watching them go from Panic when you first pull up on scene to a sense of calm when you deliver them at the ER). And I CAN'T WAIT for my first Real Fire! I am 37 years old but being a part of all of this now I feel like I'm 21 again! Blessings to ALL of you that I've joined this Brotherhood with!

Michael
