Jim, Not to argue But your chief "F" you, Like others did in NRMA the contractor wanted you but your chief failed, Your base could been paid your full cost and them some. Only one base has retained PPV housing. Now the rest want it back. The Government real sqrewd up on that one. They could of had PPV Pay for most of their own firefighting cost.

Hope thing are well for you. Sorry you had to leave area.

Well Rob for me it ended up working out for the better. Here at Parris Island we also have our housing under contract and it is all on base so the department gets paid by the housing contractor and we get more money in our budget and things are a lot cheaper here housing wise and I can actually afford to own a home. Up in RI I didn’t stand a chance. Things are rather nice down here too. While everyone in NE will be getting snow today we are going to be in the 70’2 and I think I’ll take my Vette for a ride with the top off. :P
