Alex, welcome to the Nation. I am glad you dropped in to join the group. Dont be shy just jump in anywhere and get your feet wet. There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Takes a bit to kinda figure it all out but you will be glad you did. Have fun and look around.

Hola Capitan encantado de conocerlo, estoy muy agradecido que usted se halla agregado al grupo Bomberos Voluntarios de Argentina y espero pueda brindarnos información profesional y intercambiar experiencias con nosotros. Habla muy bien el castellano, espero se sume a las discuciones del grupo Chau un fuerte abrazo desde Buenos Aires Argentina!!

Hola Alex, gracias por agregarme como amigo. La verdad es que no ubico a la persona de quien me cuentas, respecto al comandante pudo haber sido Helmut Kaminski. Te cuento que soy Inspector Jefe del Departamento de Especialidades de mi Departamento de Bomberos y ahora nos encontramos formando una Fuerza de Tarea para Institución. Un abrazo fuerte y ojalá podamos seguir en contacto.

Hello Alex, I am in the Army National Guard, and have been away on active duty up until 11 Sep 2008. I was only in town a short time and was mobilized again (back to Washington DC) for a special mission - just got back in town a few days ago. I work at Station 40 and Station 16 on the CR unit (that's why I put "other".) ;-) Hey it never hurts to have folks on the CR unit proficient on machine guns, no? ...I'm of course, just kidding. Take care, Suzanne

...no, it's not an M-60 - it's usually a M-240B or an M-2 (both are almost double the effective target range) :-) I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya' and say "hi" if I see your station on the same call with me...if I'm around I'm usually easy to spot - a 5'9" redhead in a green Phx FD shirt :- ) Take care and be safe, Suzanne
