Possibilities...

Well I have some choices right now. I have the choice to wait until approx. August to get back on with the department I used to be affiliated with or start an internship with another one I have found. Lets take a look at the pros and cons shall we...




Pros of old department:
- Had a ton of fun, loved the people and the community.
- It's where it all started.
- Feel very comfortable and confident there.

Cons:
- Wait till august.
- No real progression, but more experience (only).

Pros of new department:
- Work on getting my firefighter II cert.
- New department, new people, new connections.
- Keep my skills up, and learn some new things along the way.

Cons of new department:
- 1 year commitment in an internship.
- Time commitment.
- VERY SLOW department.

This is the dilemma. Hmmmm I will ponder this a while... please leave comments if you feel compelled... any help helps! ha ha

Back to the future...

Today I am going back to my old volunteer department where this blog began. I am going to apply for an out of district volunteer position. Basically what that means is that I am not in district so I wont be responding to every emergency. I will respond to major emergencies and when I am at the department working a shift I will respond as well.

This works out really well because with being done with the academy, and wanting to look or a real job I need a flexible schedule to accommodate that so this will work out great.

I will let you know when I hear back from them about the position.
