The Chief at the academy has approved for me to spend some time with your company as part of the programme. If you don't mind I'll call you when I'm there and confirm a day and time. Thanks for your help. I look forward to meeting you.

At 8:39pm on August 16, 2010, Michael Dombroski said…: I'll definately be in New York. I have a formally arranged visit to your training department. The scholarship is based on the tactical deployment of aerials, something we don't do as well as you guys. Besides that I'm looking for some informal visits, ride alongs, training and "shop talk" so I can get the most out my trip. You can't beat getting amongst it with the guys. I'll keep you posted with dates, and will be real keen to meet up.

At 5:09am on August 16, 2010, Michael Dombroski said…: Hey Mike

I got the scholarship. I'm coming over in March/April next year. Hope to catch up. Really looking forward to it. Never been to the USA.

Are you still with Ladder 58? Is that a tower ladder? If so I'd be keen to discuss some stuff with you specific to tower ladders. That's similar to our set up.
Regards

If you ever come down to this part of the world, make sure you let me know. You will be well looked after, with plenty of places to stay, things to do, people to meet and fires to talk out. Have a great day.
