Mr. Allen....

I do not usually get embroiled in flaming people who make stupid, uninformed, inflammatory statements... But

If you were working for THIS "Senior Member" with nearly, I would assume, double the time you have been ALIVE years in this vocation, you would be in for a serious wake up call.

I would also assume that your rude, insolent behavior is carried into your agency as well.

That is my $.02...

I certainly could not add much more than what Captain Schlags said earlier.

I concur with the remarks of Capt Schlags... no further embellishment required for this sage counsel.

Keegan, I serve as an Explorer advisor for our Post and as a unit commissioner with our local Boy Scouts & I am assigned to the Fire Exploring units in our district. I would like to give you some advice, not to put you down or chastize you, but to maybe help you to get back on the right track here. Since you are only 15, that means you have only been an Explorer for 1 year, and as such you have not had the opertunity to get hardly any of the training that is offered. You really should change your "Tons of training in the past" to "Just starting to learn what it is all about" . I have been in the Fire Service for over 30 years and I Have not stopped learning yet from other senior members. This past Wed. morning we had a very bad house fire. The fire went to 2 alarms and took over 2 hours to put out. During this fire I actually learned a few more things about Baloon framed houses & the way they can burn. As far as my role with Scouts & Exploring, I never stop learning there either. This past summer I went to Philmot to take some advanced training, why? because I realize that I don't know it all & never will, so I try to learn from other "Senior people" and soak in thier wisdom because I will NEVER stop learning.

I agree i dont care how long youve been in the fire service theres always something new to learn or maybe even something you forgot that might be a refresher.

One more thought: Don't let your mouth(and internet fingers)try to write checks that your inexperienced tail can't cash. As the others have alluded,at 15 your value to the fire service is EXTREMELY limited at best.At 5 yrs in,one is just beginning to learn the trade and that learning experience will continue thru your career provided that: You smarten up so you can have a career AND are wise enough to listen more;talk less.
