lol so i heard the department hired their first class... and i'm s till stuck here lol so that sux, but hey maybe the city will finally budget you guys some more firefighters and then they'll have to hire more off of my list, haha. One can hope right?

dont worry about it i understand your a busy guy how have things been going at station one for you?

hey you guys settle your contracts yet?

i'm sure you've been on the job with WFD for a very long time sir. But if you still do remember that long road you had to take to get there i went for my interview with Chief Patrick back in February and found out in early June that I am on the list to be hired. However they did not tell me where i rank on the list, but Batt. Chief Jobes told me that if everyone retires in September that can retire (which is unlikely) that everyone on the list would be hired. I also know that IAFF 1590 is contract renewal and asking the city for 24 new budget spots for new fighters, I haven't seen any new devlopment in that so i dont know if the FD has setteled with the city yet or not but that might have an effect as to why i have not been told anything new that is happening i think i sent you a friend reqeust if you could accept that i would love it see you around.

Hey, Jack thanks for getting us the radios in the Sprint Garage on Sunday… What a difference!

Hey Mr. Wilson, how are you doing? I applied to the city of wilmington in the summer. And had the chance and honor to meet Chief Patrick in my Chief of Fire interview and i am eagerly awaiting my letter back as to if i passed the final interview. I really do wish to be hired out of all the places i have applied, i do have to say i have sort of fallen in love with the City of Wilmington and would love to work there. I often try to stride to be the best. Given the fact that Wilmington Fire Department was rated as second best responce time in the nation second only to FDNY by Boston Globe and NFPA i think is exactly the department i would be proud to be a memeber of. If you dont mind accepting my friend request I would love to speak with you sometime perhaps some questions about the department if you dont mind? I hope to talk to you soon and stay safe out there.
