Sir,  

I know you replied to my recent post about the rookie book, have you seen it anywhere?  I had replied this morning and just went to see a response from Norm and I can not find it anywhere.

If you are able to find it can you send me the link to it?

Thank you sir, and again thank you for your reply.  I appreciated the insight 

Hello John, I saw your reply to the "Good Ole Boys" topic and wanted to ask you, how you feel in regards to me when you see my info and discussions?  Just curious, I am always looking to improve myself and I actully respect the opinions of people like you who have experience in the field.

Thanks.

Moose

Can't remember if I told you this but Oshkosh/Pierce didn't win the bid so I won't be headed back your way for awhile....we'll be getting a Rosenbauer instead (sigh).

John, I think the Ladd from SD is just plain disgruntled. Not sure what he's smokin.

Thanks, GB

Thanks, that is interesting. I will admit I have been around for a while but when I was hired we had 17 engines and 6 trucks, a rescue and an ambulance, 87 on duty. We now have 13 engines, 3 trucks and a rescue with 56 on duty. That is while going from 6,000 calls a year (for the whole department) in 1978 to 32,000 last year. More with less, we are severely short handed.

John, How big is Green Bay? How many engines and trucks do you have? Staffing?

Hello John,

Thanks for the invite Brother! - All the best to you and the GBFD.
