Ok, so tonight was our monthly meeting/training and tonight was the first time that no matter how intently I listened, I was pretty lost. Our training was on water shuttle, going through tender scenarios and how to correctly jet siphon and recirculate the dump tanks set up. I just felt so stupid tonight because even though I caught the main gist of it, when our chief started putting us on the spot (his favorite thing to do) it's like none of it made enough sense to become practical. I'm not sure if this would have been easier if I had already been through FF I and II, or if it's just something that takes time but it was a little disheartening. Has anyone else had a "brain fart" night, where you just felt like everything was being spoken and drawn in Greek? Another township is offering a watter shuttle class next month with a couple hrs. classroom stuff and then a Sat. out at the lake for practicals, so I definitely signed up hoping that this will help a little. Any tips from anyone on how to get this stuff down better?

Thank you very much for your help! And actually, I have been cleared to drive our tender, so my chief wants me to understand all of this especially, because most likely I will be involved in dumping, driving or filling. But thank you your information really helped!!

Brain Farts happen! It will get better the more you do it. Take the additional class, ask questions, if you still don't understand it, ask more questions.
