WEll yall take it easy and think of me in my new found 8-5 job.!!!! ugghh

Oh man, I hope things get better for you. Glad your okay though. I bet it is a huge change from the regular shift work huh? We have probably 30 "desk" jobs with our dept and when they send someone "upstairs" they usually go fighting and screaming but once they get up there you can't pry them out. I don't know what kind of drug they give them when they get up there but it must be some good stuff

I would hate to go back to a 9-5 job so I hope you can get back asap.

Good luck brother and keep us updated

Buddy, I would love too. When is it? I used to go to Vegas 2-3 times a year (yeah... little gambling prob. in the past). The wife and I were trying to figure out where to go later this year.

August 11 thru 15th. If you've never been to convention, they say the opening ceremonies are something you shouldn't miss. Very AWESOME.

I saw that also, but have no idea as to why. I'm thinking he was giving verbal wedgies to people who did not appreciate it.

Been almost 2 years since someone posted in here. Thought I'd start it back up and see if there is any other brothers wanting to jump in.

Since you brought it up, I've got a question for the members. I work at a small combination department and we're having some growing pains. Several of the guys (We've got 15 employees, including 12 Firefighter/Operators) are wanting to start a local chapter. I'm kind of on the fence about the whole Union thing. Mostly for political reasons. Most of the guys around here like the local, are OK with the state and could care less about the national/international. Can you guys give me some pros and cons of the union. Any personal experiences good or bad. Thanks.
