Thanks for the welcome, you must have started in the fire sevice when you were very young. Is your mom still involved too?

Sorry to hear about your mom. Thats nice that your local FD had the explorer program for you. How did you get from Maine to Wisconsin?

Mar 24, 2008
Hawkeye

Are you on the FD where you are at in Wis now?

OK, then it is home to you. I was just taking a little time here and reading your blog. You seem very mature for your age. I am impressed. Any of us who have done this for any amount of time have had the same feelings you had when you were talking about the 6 yo boy that was lost. There are times when you tend to get a little calused and wonder what you really do feel. But, we have to be able to be that way if we are going to do our jobs effectively when called upon. That does not mean that we don't shed a tear back at home, or have trouble sleeping.
I hope things are going better for you at the FD. They make be treating you that way some, but about all new rookies get treated something like that.
I tell you what, if you are ever in my area of Indiana I will take you one my FD in a heartbeat. Good Luck

Hello, HELP, HELP, HELP, I was wondering if you could mail me back and tell me how to change my backround (Theme) to a custom picture. It looks like you put your own picture in the backround and I have wanted to do that but I dont know how. I hope you can coach me on how to do it. Thank You so much.
