First off, welcome to the FFN. It's a good call to get involved with this site, specially considering that you are now on the ground floor. This site is just starting to take off and it's really cool to meet folks all over the country and world... Spend some time learning how to use the various widgets and if you need any help with anything, send me a note and I'll be able to help you or someone I know will.

I noted that you work for Walter Reed and that you are a hazmat tech. I am researching two things for my state. First off any specific directions you give for performing civilian decon, something beyond basic cobra training. And secondly, does your department support having toxmedics and antidotes carried on your hazmat rig? Hope to talk to you in more detail should you have the time. Stay safe bud,
Mike from Santa Barbara
