- About Me:
- I am a 25 year guy that is married and living in the Philippines with my wife. I served 8 years with the US Air Force and most of those years I as a reservist. During the years I was not a reservist I was deployed 7 times and have traveled the world. My Civilian job was in RF Engineering but that ended when I decided to move to the Philippines. I am currently looking for a job that will pay enough for food, travel, and some fun.

- Civil Air Patrol was and still is a large interest in mine. I learned quite a bit of Search and Rescue and Leadership qualities from them and I will always stay active with them.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Lack of equipment for personal protection. I keep seeing people respond to fire scenes in flip flops and a helmet. If they are lucky they have a bunker.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Its great to see the smiles on peoples faces and then a week later they are still greatful.

The Final Inspection
INSPECTION
The Marine stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometim… Continue

Finally something good...
So its a bit interesting to introduce NFPA standards to a 3rd world country but they vowed they will follow the standard as much as they can since not all things can be adopted for practical reasons. I am happy the course went well.
