The thoughts and feelings are always a comfort, especially when they come from a brother or sister in the service. Thanx

Yeah man, I feel like I did. I'm pretty pumped. I've been "in the process" for 2 years now and I've finally been accepted. I start in January.

Starting my first executive fire officer class in Emmitsburg on 1/7/08. If you have never been to Emmitsburg you should take a class, although I don't think you can go for free if you are on a combination department. The only thing volunteer departments pay for is the meal ticket, and my department pays for that.

hello lloyd how are you doing ? So you read my post ? Well it is a difficult subject in some houses and mine is one of them. I was very envious of those stations that said they had a zero tolerance level for that. But sometimes thats not the answer.

Thanks, Lloyd.
This was a culture that was deeply rooted in our department when I first got on. It has taken many years to beat it. Now, when the issue comes up, I ask one simple question: Do YOU want to be today's headline? Haven't gotten a "yes" out of them yet.
