I am starting my basic training next Thursday, so I am even less than a rookie right now ;-). Anyone else starting basic soon and wanna swap stories or ideas?

Being a rookie on a volunteer fire department is a challenge, especially when we are all practical jokers. We leave our gear at the station for the most part so you never know what you might find in a boot or pocket, especially after a training exercise. Paybacks are always fun. As for getting broken in as the "boys" call it- I guess I have a drop tank full of cold water waiting for me on the next fire call-hope it is a hot day and that my gear dries quick.
