    Chief, I had an awesome time in class.. IT was a very motivating, energetic and Intense learning experience.. The call we went out on was a mutual aid and we had to really be in the game for assignments, and listening to IC. The class could not have come at a better time. The knowledge that was given was a blessing that I will take with me wherever I may go.. Thanks again Scott..
