    I am awaiting my Traffic Tech course. I tried to remuster over to firefighter, beleive me. It was not open to COT's at the time I went to the BPSO. Pisses me off more and more seeing all these people at PRETC coming in with no experiance in firefighting at all, fresh off the streets and I can't even get into the trade. Oh well.

    You in Borden?

    Right on. A buddy of mine from back in Nova Scotia just finished his 5's. Maybe I'll just do what most others do, get my 5's done then remuster into it.

    Hopefully they will. She said if it had been possible she would have put me in Firefighter. I think it was open for like 6 days I had heard to CTO's

    Don't always belive them. Some of them do not go out and do what is required to find out the correct information. They have quotas to make.

    Check out Roll Call Forum and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too.... Also need help with the Trainers Corner if you have any suggestions or tips on training forum...

    Hello Bryan,

    Thanks for the info. I am sure I will be asking more questions as time goes on.

    We've had some really warm temperatures here in the past few days. +9C yesterday but not too much fog so far.
    I'm sure winter will return before too long.

    Hey Goose, hows it shaking?
    Ont. warm enough for you or do you miss the rain soaked spendor of Sooke.
    I just signed up here and did a search and there you are. All is quiet here more or less.

    Take care!
