At 12:02pm on August 25, 2010, Gregory Borg said…: Ben, do I need to CC you on all my e-mails? I thought I was talking to Jack. I will say the same thing to you, as I already have. You just have to right, and no I do not agree with your sensitivity argument, that is a sidestep. On negotiations I meant negotiating for firefighters and you know it. In Washington workers have rights, the union stands up for them. You have my profile site talk directly.

You want to take pot shots at Gregory that's your call, but do it on his comments page and not mine. What...you want I should pass him a note after gym class?
Sheesh.

At 11:37am on December 19, 2009, Capt.Alex Arnold said…: Alex, It might do you more good to carry a copy of The Prince by Niccolo Machievelli. Unfortunately, some people use that line of thinking instead of the ones for which you advocate.
Sadly Chief you couldn't be more right. But, I have been around the world and seen many other systems and ways of living. For all of "her" imperfections, the good old USofA is still the best.

At 11:03pm on October 12, 2009, Firefighter Walther said…: thanks for the group add bro!

At 4:36pm on October 10, 2009, Reg Mathis said…: Hey Ben,

Small world, huh? Next time you head through and have about 2 minutes, drop me a note and I'll give you a tour of our station! 2 minutes should about cover it! But at least we can offer you a cup of coffee!

At 8:11pm on October 9, 2009, Rusty Mancini said…: Ben, I sent you a message.

At 9:06am on October 2, 2009, Jason Louthan said…: Things are good. The wife and I were actually thinking of you guys the other day. We were talking about how nice it would be to move to HHI and I could get a job with the FD. I told her that would be great if they had a TO postion. But that is just wishful thinking because I can't get her to move out of OK because of family and we just had a baby girl. Regan Lesley Louthan 4 months old.

At 8:46pm on September 20, 2009, Rusty Mancini said…: Ben, I didn't want you to think I was hammering you by the sledge hammer comment I posted. You did the right thing by posting your blog and exposing this matter. Yesterday after I commented on that post, I question myself on my reply, I was shocked when I went back to scratch it and it was deleted. Anyway my friend, good job!

At 1:07pm on September 9, 2009, Meghan Barr said…: Hi Ben,
My name is Meghan Barr and I'm a reporter for the Associated Press. I am writing a story about acquired structure burns, and I noticed that you had posted a comment on a discussion thread about them a few months ago. I'm trying to talk to firefighters about whether they think the practice is safe or not. If you are willing to chat with me about this, please contact me at mbarr@ap.org. Even if you don't feel comfortable commenting for my story, I would appreciate any advice on where to find more information about live burns. Thanks very much!

Best,
Meghan
