Where firefighters come to talk training

FDIC - No Control

Why is it that every year here in Indy a group of guys have to show the world what an a** they can be? Please! Is it too much to ask that you at least pretend you've been to a city before? I'm not saying you can't go out after hours and have a good time, but grow up and act like a responsible adult. A little self control, please!

That rant being said, there were some excellent classes today and yesterday. Tops on my list were Chris Brennan's Situational Awareness and Mike Gagliano and Mike Dugan's Firehouse Excellence. Both classes held up a very eye-opening mirror to me to some of my own bad habits. They gave me much to think (and draw) about - thanks gentlemen!

Comment by Art "Chief Reason" Goodrich on March 23, 2011 at 8:00am: There is also that notion of : "What goes on in Indy, stays in Indy."

They think that they are out of the public's eye, when really; they are out of THEIR public's eye.

As I told Bobby; "STUPID IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR THE CLUELESS".

And if you think about it; how much good will a participant get out of the class if they are sitting there with a huge head pounding, stomach turning over and puke halfway up your gullet as you fight to keep it down?

A big dog hangover can cause you to miss a great show.

On a good note; glad your enjoying the classes, Paul.

I will see you tomorrow.
