Norm Thanks for the welcome and the compliment about me being a roofman and wearing all my PPe. I am actually on an engine and just happened to be in the right place at the right time for that great picture. I am teased by my old Captain and crew for being a Truckie on an engine. I really enjoy roof ops and forcible entry. Have a safe holiday season.

Hey Norm Thanks for the add. I am overseas and its a different animal here. I was working for a contracting company working for the US govt on a Marine base but since moved on to a NATO base working for NATO. We have British guys here mainly. There is only like 3 Americans and we are all drivers. The brits way of doing things sometimes are alot different and its a hassle but we make the best of it and stary safe. Thanks for supporting us evne though Im not in the military we are here to keep them safe. If you are interested I could trade some t shirts. I would say patches but we only have vinyl stickers not and actualy patch. We do have challenege coins also. When I get home I have challenege coins and tshirts from my old base also.

I;m so glad. Romania is a beautiful country with great people. Firefighters are military structures in conditions of crisis intervention techniques to handle difficult in the 90s.
Unfortunately our institutional contacts with outsiders are rare, especially those made centrally. The operative units is difficult to get in touch with colleagues from outside Europe, especially due to high costs that can not be sustained. Internet news we can find techniques and tactics and make friends. For now

Be safe and live well!
