Hey all,

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Amy, a marketing manager for a company that sells fire service radio accessories.

I'm so interested in learning more about the world of firefighting. I love my job, and it brings a smile to my face every day that I get a chance to work with you all. Helping to keep America's bravest safe is something that I am proud to be doing.

Thanks so much to all of the men and women who dedicate themselves to firefighting and EMS. I appreciate and respect you all!

An enthusiastic newbie to the forum,
Amy S.

Dearest,

You are in for much more than you ever wanted when reading this forum.  Take this place more like the day room of a disfunctional fire station.  You ARE going to be frightened, you ARE going to be scared, you MIGHT be shocked.  But welcome, sit down, kick your feet up and take most of what you hear with a grain of salt.

Stay away from Federal Q! Have fun on here but take it with a grain of salt. I can assure you anyone of us has each others back regardless. Except maybe Q. Depends on the situation.

FanoftheBravest - Welcome.  Drew said it the best, "you ARE going to be frightened, you ARE going to be scared, you MIGHT be shocked.  But welcome, sit down, kick your feet up and take most of what you hear with a grain of salt."  On that note, good luck, have fun, and join in when you can.  Say something even if it doesn't concern you, but you think you may have some insite on the matter.  It'll piss some of the boys and girls off, but it's always better to be pissed off then pissed on.  Well, unless you're Fred, I heard he likes it.

Ltwetyourself - Try again brother man.  I may get pissed at some of the stuff that is said, but I'll always have everyones backin hear when it comes to "game time."  Funny thing, if I remember right, I think I kinda got pissed off when someone (I think it was Fred) told you to take off you KKK hood a while back.

"It's better to be pissed off, then pissed on!"

"Take care and stay safe everyone!"

You are going to be sickened.

Welcome!!!!  Like others have said, don't take too much of this stuff seriously.  In the firehouse the general rule is, usually, be nervous if they're not tooling on you.  Good luck in your new line of work.
