Although this post addresses the infancy of why we became firefighters, let's not revert back to that infancy in the way we conduct ourselves with our brothers and sisters AND at the expense of our more mature readers.<br />

As I started reading this thread I thought of those first adrenaline rushes I felt when I started learning to become a firefighter. I still get that feeling during a good run. Feels good to truly help someone.<br />
Sadly, however I came across a series of exchanges in which guys are just cutting each other down. It seems to come to that too often. Life's too short.<br />
You guys have a safe day.

You seem to have some insecurity issues, no worries, I'm sure you're not at useless as you think you are.<br />
<br />
Pathological egotist? Are you pretending to know what this all means? Megalomaniac? Really? have you been watching the learning channel? LOL you're so cute...pretending to be an adult...haha you keep on sport.

I said my part and every time I do you feel the need to run your mouth and cut it down.... Calling me insecure is a bit hypocritical of you is it not? I do not say anything to you until you decide you want to come up with some smart ass remark belittling every thing I say. So may be I should ask you if it makes you feel better to attack some one else? Do you have some deep physiological issues that make it necessary to do this? If so then I will ignore it.

I said my part and every time I do you feel the need to run your mouth and cut it down.... Calling me insecure is a bit hypocritical of you is it not? I do not say anything to you until you decide you want to come up with some smart ass remark belittling every thing I say. So may be I should ask you if it makes you feel better to attack some one else? Do you have some deep physiological issues that make it necessary to do this? If so then I will ignore it. Are you a pathological egotist ? Because to me it seems you have little or no regard for interests, beliefs, or attitudes other than your own. I really believe you are a megalomaniac. So with that being said I will leave you be to your own egocentric thoughts and ignore any further comments from you.

Like said before, I'm a second generation firefighter. I couldn't imagine doing any other job in the world. I just never grew out of my childhood dream. I remember grabbing old gear my dad brought home, and grabbing chairs and stuff from around the house and making my own fire truck out in front of my parents house. I remember going to the fire house and climbing on the trucks. It was mentioned before I have so many people that I consider moms, dads, and grandparents because of this job, and…
Like said before, I'm a second generation firefighter. I couldn't imagine doing any other job in the world. I just never grew out of my childhood dream. I remember grabbing old gear my dad brought home, and grabbing chairs and stuff from around the house and making my own fire truck out in front of my parents house. I remember going to the fire house and climbing on the trucks. It was mentioned before I have so many people that I consider moms, dads, and grandparents because of this job, and some of the closest friends I'll ever have because of this job. Just living my childhood dream and doing what I love is why I became a firefighter. I guess helping people in the process doesn't hurt either.
