Now that it's over...

I haven't been posting as much lately. I know, I'm sorry. But the academy is over and now I have been thrown back into the real world with "real" college classes (bad news). I had a great time in the academy, met a ton of people who I will be working closely with in the up coming months and years to find a job. I have memories I will never forget... but I have to move forward to bigger things.

Here is a few of the best pics from my academy, and please keep checking back for updates about the job hunt!

Civilian vs. FD Friends

A buddy of mine sent me this... I thought it was pretty funny. Enjoy.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Get upset if you're too busy to talk to them for a
week.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Are glad to see you after years, and will
happily carry on the same conversation you were having last time you
met.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. And Mrs.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Call your parents mom and dad.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...we screwed up...but man that was fun!"

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Cry with you

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' ass that left you behind.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!"

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Are for a while.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Are for life.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Have shared a few experiences...
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Have shared a lifetime of experiences no Civilian could ever dream of...

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will take your drink away when they think you've had enough.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Will look at you stumbling all over the place and say, "You better drink the rest of that, you know we don't waste...that's alcohol abuse!!" Then carry you home safely and put you to bed.

CIVILIAN FRIENDS: Will talk crap to the person who talks crap about you.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FRIENDS: Will knock them the hell out of them for using your name in vain.
