About Me:
I was orginally a firefighter for 5 years in Germany.
Later on I joined the German Bundeswehr and served for 15 years in both the light and heavy infantry.
My military education involved truckdriving, combat medic, sniper, as well as a drill sergeant. Later on I belonged to a special operation group called the "Jagtkommando" (Hunter Command), which involved search and destroy operations. I left active duty as a Sergeant First Class (E-7) and am currently in the Active Reserve.
Today, I'm a hard working Mr. Mom to my 3 year old son while my wife attends college full-time.
My other job involves firefighting at a volunteer fire station in our community.
Day Job:
Mr. Mom (chaffuer, doctor, lawyer, cleaner, psychologist, mechanic , and on...)
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of organization
Firefighters not working together as a team
Becoming complacent
Too much B..S and not enough training
I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
After a structure fire I smell like smoked ham; seriously, it's my passion and the ham

Do you know why do firefighters run into a burning building? only we have the courage to face death every time we enter those house burning down in front of us, GOD gave us the courage to be in this line of duty and we will develop that gift GOD gave me...i admit that I aint good in other things but this is what im good puttin my life in risk just to save the life of others.... I'am proud to be a FIREFIGHTER OF GOD's FIRE BRIGADE.

Hi Horst,

ich bin der deutschen recht maechtig ;-) (nach 21 Jahren Frankfurt/Main sollte man das ja auch erwarten)

Danke fuer den add & das Kommentar!!!

Wie ist das leben dort oben in Maine?

Bin momentan in Tennessee & trainiere mit den "Marines" was die hier nennen:

"search and recue during ambush"

macht echt spass, wir trainieren mit den jungs und erlaeutern gewisse dinge aus sicht des Rettungsdienstes (welcher ich hoffe nie das in real machen muss was wir hier treiben) & die zeigen uns deren Taktik usw. welche sie benutzten unter gewissen umstaenden ;-)

Gruss,

Thomas
