Dirk
Will you send an e-mail to my son inviting him to join your group? His addresses are alex.austin@us.army.mil and nightspec@yahoo.com He is having problems finding reasons to remain in military firefighting. He graduated from DoD Fire Academy and just fails to understand that he can earn quite a few credits from CCAF and could get his AAS in Fire Science by just completing the General CLEP exams for his 30 credit hours. Maybe if he hears it from someone else besides me it might just light a fire under his rump to get moving. Thanks and be safe Brother Dirk.
