Don't wait to tell your friends how much fun they are, or how much you enjoy being around them. It may be too late.

Firefighter One LLC

Ok, It is Trade Show Season and I am all over the place. My Next stop puts me at Virginia Beach ( shucks... The Beach) After that it is my home state (Yuk) and then on to Ohio. After that things should slow down for a while. I love it.. meeting people from different agencies and getting to see their equipment.

Maltese Cross

Did I mention to you all that I wear a Silver 3/4 of an inch maltese cross necklace around my neck 24/7/365? If I need some encouragement, I kiss it. If I need some strength, i kiss it. If I need some motivation, i kiss it. If I'm sitting in class fighting through a blue book exam or while sweating bullets and every muscle in my body burns from working out, I kiss it to remind myself that everything I do in my life on a day to day basis is just getting me ready for my future career.

Fire Officer I examination

I finally got off my butt and registered for my Fire Officer I examination. It doesn't really mean much yet at work, except that I should be able to ride out of class as a lieutenant after I finish a clearing process at work. I still have one more Fire Officer II class and I have to complete a Business Communications and Macrocomputer Application class to finish out my Fire Officer II AND THEN I'll be eligable to promote to lieutenant.

In other exciting news, I still haven't…

"Candidate"

Candidate. Not probie, not rook, not FNG, just candidate. This is the term used for probationary firemen in the chicago fire dept. Why is it important to me, you ask? No, unfortunately, i am not a candidate yet. But "candidate" is my nickname.

I was given this name by engine company 22 of the chicago fire dept(3rd shift). I met these guys about a year and a half ago. Those guys have been a part of my life ever since. Since the past summer I've been actually riding with those guys. I…

There where 10 people packed into Ford Windstar minivan is far above normal occupancy where there are only 7 seatbelts. The driver…
