    Holy cow they had to take your jacket out a lot, you are really tall huh lol... Yea it does stick being a differ size from the majority, but thats what makes us unique lol... Ol gosh I'm so sorry you have Air Suck lol... thats what we call Survive Air... you'll see why... once you use a Scott or MSA air pack you'll be like what the heck were they having us use lol, they peep for like 2 mins when your doning them off, its really irrating... and in the heat of things makes you think twice if thats the "call/sound" of a FF down, ya know... Umm our gear is Morning Pride and our packs are Scotts...

    Ok I'll check that website out... How is everything else going for ya... everybody being helpful to ya about informing ya how things work around your dpt.?

    Hey Brother... Thanks for the add... Yup, I've been a "Two Hatter" for quite a while... Rapidly approaching 38 years in the fire service and 26 years sworn in law enforcement.

    It certainly gives you a different perspective on both jobs as you can see the priorities for each from both sides of the fence.

    Good luck... Fight hard, stay safe.
