Hello Brother Brad!
I just read my hubbies post below! OMG, redneck brother, huh? I didn't marry no redneck!! So you saw my little fur baby on the Chief's page! He is my little man!! And he loves his daddy, too! He's just a little spoiled. Hope all is well up there. Take care, stay safe, train hard!

Hey brother just give us a call and let us know where ur @ when u get here and we will do our dead level best to get there. Yea the Chief is comin this way the 1st of Aug. but he will b about 3 hrs east of us and Marnie is workin that weekend so don't know if we will get to c him. If we had a cell number for maybe we could give him a quick call just to say hi. Take care brother. Ur redneck brother n the south.(lol)
KTF!!
Not much here either brother. We just started the rookie school for 17 at work. So the the two days off are gone for awhile my days r filled with teachin until middle of nov. for all the insturctors at the FD. How did the promotion stuff go for ya'll. Let me know about ur trip down to the OBX so we can make plans to catch up with ya. Take care.
Good Luck. If it's meant to b it will. We r n the process of during promotions also so I know how it's goin. We have 17 new rookies starting july 1 so all the instructors are geeting geared up for a long summer.
take care brother.
Dang the heat wave. And if you can feel a 4.0 then it must've been close. As far as the small stuff, I am not worried about it. My chain is not that long that it can be yanked that easily. BUT, despite what it appears, I DO have a lot on my plate. Namely getting ready for ISO to visit my volunteer department. oy vey and huzzah.
Hey brother, well it is a small. So i guess u can come to hickory to meet the family, we could get together an me an marnie could show u the sites here so u can get the fever to move this way. It was in the low 90s today, coolin bk to the 80s the rest of the week. Good luck on the Capt. exam. talk to ya soon my far away brother.
Hey Brother, we just wanted to check on ya to make sure u was makin it though all the bad weather out there sounds like ur gettin hammered, likewise here also. Take care. Later
Yea i hope so. I talked to Marnie last nite about the OBX trip and she said that should not be a problem, when you can get some dates let me know. As long as it's not around the thrid weekend in Oct. thats our county fire college but anything else is good. Take care Brother.
Brother, I hate I missed what Ray had to say, but I think after hearing his statement for pulling it. What he said may have been what all of us want to say and are afraid to,he done it for us sounds like. Yea its bad for him it sounds like by having to go to the HQ, hopefully the higher ups will understand where he was coming from. And I hope everything works out in his favor the Brotherhood will stand by him I know. If you here of anything else on this or see it anywhere let me know please, so I can see it also. As far as Chief Halton doing what he did he did it because its what he thought was the right thing to do. I think he would have done that for anyone of us to keep from causing any trouble or bad vibes on any Dept. Take care and talk to ya soon my friend.
Hey Brother, sure just gets me some dates and i'll c what we can do about getting out to the OBX. We been getting some fire in the volly dept. had a small fire today not much to it though. Starting to get a little warm here if the rain will stay away. I will check out Chief Haltons comments and let u know.
Hey brother,
Just wanted to check in on ya, hope everything is goin good for ya. Finally the snow and cold is gone it's around 85 here today. Im still tryin to learn the chanter lungs r getting better. Take care!!
Just chatted with Raul a few days back. He is doing well at Ladder 6 in the Queen Anne area of Seattle. Still actively involved in doing training and host of other stuff.
Are you headed to FDIC this year? Grab ahold of me somewhere there if you are...
I'd love to come up your way if you think the troops would be interested. Give me a shout and we'll what we can do.
I forgot about Eielson. I do remeber Nixon, I hope he can make it up there. I saw Turkel as well. I will have to send an invite to him as well. Take care and stay warm.
Funny you should ask. I was assigned to Central Firehouse, Engine 1. However starting next day I am going to Engine 4/Medic 4. Engine 1 is the busiest engine in the city and I will miss that firehouse (especially meals when everyone, upto 18 guys, all ate together). 4's is a great house with a great company. 4's also catches more fires and its location is in a rougher part of town, which allows for more legit medical runs.
I am not sure how much good I will be. I am usually left out of the loop when it comes to speccing out a truck. In my department the main thing we look for is a height of under 10 feet and a price we can afford, usually less than 20k. Which means 30+ years or older trucks.
