As you can tell i check this site all the time...

Wowsers! Thats huge! I have always been pro-military. Was headed for the Marine Corps before I was surprised with daughter #1. I would say first, if it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Sometimes I think that our gut feeling or that little voice we ignore sometimes is God talking to us. My best advice would be to talk to people who have been there done that. I wouldn't recommend a recruiter because they have personal interests vested in you joining. Talk to people who can give you an honest opinion. As for furthering your career there are many routes you can take. I can give you some resources. But I am coming down off of my 48 with 1 hour of sleep. Bleh! Keep in touch. Ask Capt. Long about the little gal then went in the Army after being at District 1. Talk to ya soon!

Hey! I see your pictures there in front of the ECFR engine. I have driven that engine a time or two! You doing the sleeper program there? Let me know if you need any help or advice. Talk with ya later.

That is what I am seeing in the northeast. FF/Medics are in high demand. Good time right now, get it all done and start searching.

Yeah Godsmack rocks, I have seen them a bunch, Sully, the singer lives in NH too! Nice chatting with you.

Congrats Hiedi... Once you complete your Medic and Fire Science Program you are going to be easily marketable for a good job, My area like most others are in need of FF/Medics. If fully trained and ready to go to work, they pretty much can pick which department they want to work for.

Stay safe feel free to fdrop me a note if you have a question. Bill

Hi Hiedi, Well I weighed a section of 21/2" - 36 lbs, not too bad! Good luck on your upcoming test!

Have a good weekend,
Roger

Hey there chicky poo! How are things going? You get on with an FD? You started any classes yet? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Have a great weekend. :o)

You bet Heidi, have a great weekend.

Hi Hiedi, Sorry I'm getting back to you so late,

I'm not sure exactly how much but I'm guessing about 40 or 50 lbs. I'm back to work and can weigh a 50' section then. Is that too late?

Good luck to you on your test!
Roger
