Glad to hear your buddy was okay after that. Im still working my day job until the hire date, which isn't until 2010...longer wait then I wanted...lol, I've been looking at the USMC, not too sure yet tho

Yea we are doing great. I hope to get a job soon because if I am going to be in a hot place come this summer I would rather be inside a burning building.

Whats up man its been a while since we have talked. I am still spring'n it and hating every minute. Hope you and your family are doing great.

Hey! I've been away for a while, and havn't had time to sit down and talk to anyone for a while. How ya been? Im hoping everything is eh okay, and do I have some stories for you from over the summer...LOL

That would be cool I actually live in Yancey county but work in Leicester so I don't know if I would know your family.

Hi Josh. I am originally from Asheville. I grew up in West Buncombe. My family still lives up there. I have two Aunts and their families who live in your fire district. Maybe next time I am up that way we can do a meet and greet. Take care.

no problem if you have any more questions feel free to ask and btw good luck with FDNY i hope it works out

You are full of great info...LOL ever thought about working for MSA... you would be pretty good at it. Thanx again.

the bend in the brim is strictly preference you can bend the brim by heating up the helment and just bending it it is up to you. you can try different bends or just leave it as it comes

That actually helps me out alot....LOL i was wondering which one you were wearing in the pics...LOL Now iv seen some other pictures where the front brim and the back brim are not bent as yours is....is that just how they become after a while? I owe ya big for this one...LOL my new best friend...LOL thnx for the helping hand again.

Thank you!!! I appreciate the help.
