    I don't know Trainer, if both are not tied together... As you know when your are trying to sell "Fire Fighting" to your customer. As you pass on the "basic requirements" needed and then add on all the "required requirements" .. you can see the look in their face of declined interest. I don't believe in the "Apathy" senario , I believe in, we have in the fire service have made this job harder than it needs to be. Has the fire really changed that much in your 20 + years ?

    Hey Trainer, thanks for the blunt truth... The volunteer in and volunteer out theory is in use too much these days.. that thought process has helped with already declining memberships. If you can get them through FF I, then kiss the ground and encourage FF II, most of the time, the prestige of having FF II, will get them to take it.. thanks again.. bud.. .. Tom
