Thank you

I put in for FDIC in next years budget so we'll see. In the mean time I look forward to hearing other's thoughts about CTCs. Talk with you soon!

Thanks for putting this up. I look forward to hearing what others are doing.

At 4:57pm on March 12, 2008, Frank Ricci said…: John,we could use your input in our Saffing group as well as our Tactical Building Blocks
This group will focus on aggressive interior firefighting. We will address tactics that increase your chance of not getting jammed up and cover what actions to undertake if you do.We will cover some big issues as well as small tactical tips
Be Safe,

At 12:48pm on March 5, 2008, Bobby Halton said…: Hey Poindexter!!!!
How about you start a discussion group with Frank on using the simulations. Frank's article is in the April 2008 edition!
thanks for joining, as always your freind Bobby
