Greetings from a Probie
Hi All!
I'm a probie with a rural VFD and am very proud to be granted the privilege to train with the Hugo VFD. I have to admit that the 1st two training sessions have been fun but demanding, hopefully some additional time at the gymn will pay off.
Since I'm a newbie to both firefighting and this forum I hope that some of you "old hands" will send some sound advice my way.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to FFN and the fire service. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to be teachable. You can never learn enough!

welcome. remember the hierarchy of life
family
job/school
fire dept
if there is more in your life just make sure fire falls to near bottom.
you are going to experience things that will bring joy and tears. make sure you talk about it with your peers. they will be the greatest support mechanism you have.

Welcome to the greatest service in the world! Also, welcome to The Nation. I am honestly glad to hear about the "demanding training." Here in my "house" I have a saying posted on the wall-
"I make practice really hard because if a player is a quitter I want them to quit here, not the game." -Bear Bryant
Keep training hard, that is the only way to train!
Be safe and learn something new today.

Welcome to the Fire Service and to FFN. Educate yourself, take classes, talk to the veterans in your department and in other departments as well. If you don't know something ask! The only stupid question is that one that is not asked. Best of luck to you.
Stay Safe

Gerald, welcome to this world of old man fire. and the FFN. I would agree with the above posts. Very well said brothers and sister. We train like a football team would practice. if you don't know your opponet you will have a hard time winning the (game). And with that little one there, Remember who depends on you.

Thank you all for the welcome. Trained with the juniors the other night to get some of my 36, they were kinda rough on the "old man", but I hung in there!
One quick question, how long will it take to get my 1403 assuming I get in pretty quickly?
Thanks again!
