As a boy I was always around the fire dept. I was drawn to it naturally. I graduated from the fire academy at the same time I graduated from high school. I have believed in helping my fellow neighbor. There is no greater sense of purpose than when helping those in need, knowing that you are using your skills to the best of your abilities without judging those in need.
Mario,
That's cool. I had a buddy just get back from Iraq with the 101st. It's a unit I always wanted to go to, but I was only in for 5 and was with the 11th ACR the entire time. Other than Benning for basic, AIT, Airborne and RIP, The only other post I was ever at was Ft. Polk for a month, playing ING during a field rotation. I honestly don't remember which unit we were supplementing though. Well, nice to meet you. Take care and stay safe.
Not at all, I heard he was real down-to-earth, so I have his photo. I'm glad to hear that you met him and proved this to be true. The 101st? Impressive...keep in touch.
Well thanks for the welcoming :) I haven't been in a house fire yet, but I def love the shipboard stuff. The best part were the different trainers I got to go to. saving the sinking ship was great, having to climb a ladder through a scuttle with water pouring out of it! what a thrill :)) Stay safe
