    Yo bro'. That's good news man! Keep on pushing brotha. Forward me ANY info on who's hiring and what not. Need all the help I can get! Thanks for keeping connected. After that last test I kinda lost hope for something that I NEED to be. Just need to get my foot in the door. Trying to stay focused. Looking into getting my associates degree in fire science. On line of course. Where are you taking the classes for emt-b? Been there myself. Wasn't to easy for me. I just don't test well. I passed the class but not the final for certification. Maybe I'll do better on-line. No distractions!! Females and all!! Good luck man. Hey, maybe one day we'll talk about how your department differs from mine!! I hope. Take care.

    Just after 8 this morning Steve's department was called out to a fully involved house fire. A neighbor called it in that the flames were above the trees. By the time they could get there the roof had caved. After it was out they found the owner inside. Maybe you could stop by and see how he's doing in a bit. The still are not home, but I haven't heard any traffic on the pager in quite a while so it should be any time now. I just dont know if he will talk to me or try to protect me from it. KWIM?
    Thanks.

    What up man? No dice here either!!! Took the test, waited, didn't get pushed thru to the physical. What's messed up though, is they didn't even tell me my score!! So I don't know how bad or good I did. Alot of people were there!! Talked to one of the FF that were there and they only needed like 5-8 FF. That was golden oppurtunity for me. Entry level!! I mean come on.!! Still in pursuit. We'll see. Looks like you found a loop hole on your end. Good luck man. Have a great holiday brotha'!!
