Wish I could have taken the week off from work and went, I would have loved to have heard the talk from all of those guys. Maybe one day I will be able to plan for the week off and go, but for now, Im stuck in the 9-5er routine!! lol

Have fun and enjoy the show chief, take back lots of knowledge learned and share it with us here, I know I would appreciate it.

Have to say what makes this even better , is that while being at State Chiefs , the Crew of South Schenectady in a 2 day period ran 4 calls [ 2 of which were Structure calls] and perform and did the job , while i was away and did a great job, i got several calls saying this.

I guess we are getting our "Pride and Ownership'' back .

Well Day 3 is over , was a little late to the early classes today, but made the Round table for awhile, hats off to NYSAFC for a Job well done. came away from this with a lot of ideas , now the hard part to convince the aging members of the Board that change is needed , It's 2011 , not 1960 .

On the bright side , we purchased a new Rig there, and yes i bought a Pink t Shirt to wear to show my support for Cancer Awareness , I even bough for every FF a Cancer awareness Sticker to put on their helmets [ of course out of my pocket]..
