    Hi Shinning, I’m a retired Fire Chief and understand the importance of health & safety for our responders. I joined FF Nation to share my incredible wellness story with everyone. My life was saved because of this program. Many of us need to get healthier. If you’re interested in more information about this life changing program please send me an email at: wellness2390@aol.com Thanks, John

    You'll do alright, I've made it pretty much, you should beable to do the same. It depends on how much you want it. Need to take things seriously thought. Sometimes to much fun in class gets you lost. Go for it.
