    hello dear. just wanted to say good luck, and i have no doubt that you will be anything less than an asset to your company. cause if you felt that feeling in your heart (like 99% of all of us do!) theres no way you can go wrong... how many people can have a blast at work, and still help people and save lives at the same time. just remember to have fun. and yea.. isnt it a great feeling to know that when someone else calls 911... your the one... you are 911! happy holidays!!

    -Matty

    Tango 212 is a radio call sign for the Fire Dept. when I was a First Responder, and Kotex is a Nickname cuz I saved a woman and her baby from bleeding to death.It was given to me by a fellow female firefighter cuz Kotex Overnight pads are what I used to save her life...its a honor to have, and am very proud of it..

    Even after 30 years, my old heart gets pumping when we're going to a good fire. If you ever get to the point where you don't get excited, it's time to go.
