More about me
What to say that is not in the about me? I have two sons 3 1/2 & 22months old. I am a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I returned home in June of 2006 after one year in country. I spent the first year of my tour in Iraq in the infamous Triangle of Death just outside Baghdad close to the beginning of the Anbar Province. Even though I was seperated from my young family for a year and a half including train up, I am proud to be a combat veteran. I did not include the name of my agency or it's location because our department's administration holds a negative view toward MySpace and anything that looks remotely like it so I can't put anything online with my department's name or anything like that, I have to be very careful about what I put on my profile. If you want to know what agency I work for or where it is I will be happy to send it to you in an email or MySpace message. I am currently attending classes to get my A.A.S. in Fire Science, after that I plan to transfer to a B.A. program for Public Safety Leadership, & eventaully go to graduate school. I am hoping to make Captain this year and eventually I want to be a Fire Chief somewhere.

There are some very good videos on these sites, lots of good opportunities to learn from other departments whether they do it right or it may be an example of what not to do.
