When you have time I would like to hear more about that program. Code enforcement is our biggest issue. But the efficiency is an issue as well. Hang in there brother. And as always stay safe.
Hey, How are you? Naw that was just a class I have taken...Im new to this and im slowley taking classes...Im starting EMT on tuesday so im gonna focus just on that for now, then continue some of the FF1 classes...
LOL....that was funny as hell, but I know what you mean. When do you work again? Are you on shift work or 8-5? I will be working tomorrow 1-10-08. Been a long time since I have been to Miami, of course I to speak any Spanish. Well I can ask for a beer and where the bathroom is. So I guess you would say.......Mi habla Espanol es boquito. I will have to come down sometime and we canshare a couple cervaza's. Stay Safe brother
Hi Gio! Not in Houston yet!! Still waiting on TDHS to give me my cert. so I can go to work. I have the job and its waiying on me, but you know how it is when you have to waiy on other people. Yes, I do have kids. I have 3 daughters. They are 17, 14, and 11. Well, thanks for writing, Hope to talk with u soon! Wwendyjo
right now just fire side,but hopefully in few months with doctors ok I can begin the emt training I want to do,as for serious it is but I not worried to much I have one of best nurosurgeons in the country
it all depends on the shift, sometimes I only do 12 hour shifts, and sometimes I do 24hr or more shifts.
with us it depends from station to station how the atmosphere is as well... the main factor that seems to determine how fun the shift is how large of a crew is on duty
The one thing I want for the new year is for me and my family to keep our health and happiness, and to learn much about being a firefighter.
And you what do you wish for in this new year??
Take Care N be Save
It was a very long and complex situation, especially for a kid to deal with.
She's 18 now and recently moved to Oregon. Last contact I had with her was maybe three months ago... not sure exactly what she is up to now.
When I finally got Child Protective Services and the police involved, they didn't do anything really, and we drifted apart a bit after an incident when I refused to let her mom's child-molesting boyfriend drive me home when he was trashed and so her folks told her I was unstable and that she wasn't allowed to see me.
After I got CPS and the PD involved, the mother moved them to Germany, and then a few months later the boyfriend moved them to New Zealand.
So, that was my life lesson that you can't save everyone, and that sometimes shit happens.
I'm 17 now and I think she and her situation have got to be what have had the biggest influence upon my life. I think its possible that I'm still in emergency services now because I'm somehow trying to make up for that I wasn't able to help her.
Gio,
What is happening down south/ Seen any snow yet? LOL....I forgot it doesn't even get below 60 down there...So how is life and the job going. Anything news worthy. Slow day here on the Central West Coast. Take care brother and stay safe.
