The question was how many diffrent uses are there for the spanner belt? Thanks for your help.

I am in the process of reading your book on leadership titled First In, Last Out. I have to say that you have a unique perspective on things that one would normally not think of. Your book has been a great read so far & I look forward to finishing it soon. I would very much appreciate if you would consider adding me as a friend. Thanks for your time, & stay safe.

Been busy but wanted to just say a quick thank you for taking the time to write back in regards to dealing with inexperience. I read your book First In Last Out a couple of months ago and took allot of things away from it, so it meant allot that you took the time out to give me your thoughts on it. Look forward to talking with you again soon. Thanks again.

Just wanted to say hello, I've been so busy with Common Sense Firefighting on this site that I haven't been around the rest of it. Did you get to LA with the IAFF? I'm too busy with things and the holidays are comming quick. I just saw Doug Sloan from Total Fire here in Chgo and he showed me a pic of his boys serving with yours overseas. He said hello also.
Take care
Merry Christmas (Is that ok to say here? Ha)
