- Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
- I left the Army after 13 years of service and felt the desire to continue to serve in some fashion and the Fire/EMS service seemed like the perfect choice. My wife and I joined at the same time and have identical certifications except one area, she is a rope technician and I am a fire investigator, I did enough of the "tangle&dangle" rope stuff in the Army, my only regret is not getting in sooner. The most rewarding part of the Fire service for me is teaching.

- Growing up I used to go fishing w/ my Dad at Pymatuming resivor south of Erie off of 79. We'd use these things called "Egg Bobbers". Now that I live in upstate ny and have a son of my own I'd love to find some so that he can use them too. Have you ever heard of them?

Yes, you can have any medal made up, couldn't tell you the cost though. Our dept uses Blackington for medals and ribbons.
I really hope not. He'll be on the list he doesn't like to hear about.
