Howdy folks, I haven't been on much lately. The major reason for that is how addicted I am to firefighting, as you can probably tell by the new banner,personal pic, icon, blog pic, and signature(our academy t-shirt design). The academy has been going great and I've been riding a lot at my dad's station. I'vereallybeen studying a ton, but its nice to study something that is this interesting, and the physical training has been pretty tough, but I love that too.Also another one of my cousins is probably going to get hired soon, which was unexpected, making him the12th person in my family who has, is, or is training to be a firefighter.... its pretty much a family tradition. And as if training to be a firefighter-paramedic hasn't been keeping me busy enough Oh yeah and my 19th birthday is in 8 days so I guess thats pretty cool. Well thats pretty much it, I hope you all have been doing all right...
