Looks like things are going well for you..
You taught in my fire academy class a few years ago. You taught me a lot and were very supportive of my career goals. Things are going well with me and I hope with you as well. Thanks for all of your help.
I am very happy you have joined can I ask you a favor. We are trying something a little different here: To ensure we have the best communication possible, we are asking that you use your full name if you wish to participate. By eliminating anonymous posts we hope to elevate the discussion and maintain a sense of open and honest sharing. The intent is not to exclude anyone but to protect everyone from unwanted and inappropriate postings.
Thanks Bobby
