All of our personnel have black helmets...the only distinction is on the shield...which states the title

I apologize as well, I wasn't trying to be negative. Most of the time you can do a search for the topic you're thinking about posting.

Ditto on the sarcasim, totally uncalled for.
My Dept. is;
White - Chief
Assistant Chief
Battalion Chief
Captain
Yellow - FNG
Orange - Everyone else

The only distinction between Lt. and Safety Officers is the title on the shield.

"WOW! If you see a post that has been on here before, just ignore it. It means that there is a new person on here."

No, it means that they didn't search the forums to see if this topic has already been beaten to death!
