Some of you know that I am an EMT. I just spent most of the day at the college and enrolled for the fire academy. Classes start August 20 so I may not be on as much, but I will make sure to drop in when I can. I am very excited can't wait to get started.

Good luck!

Hopefully all goes well and I'd like to thank you for your service. Did not know that you were an EMT but that is awesome to hear.

Is the fire academy for firefighters or is it something extremely different?

You got it waznyf it's for firefighter. Someday I would like to go on to get my paramedic license and maybe my RN. I would like to either be a flight medic or swat medic; haven't really decided yet.

Missouri Southern State University; that is where I went for my EMT course and I want to keep all my credits with one school for now to save on having to transfer transcripts.

Great to hear that! Question...Are they going to allow you to remain grizzly (bearded) in fire academy school?

Yep, sadly I shaved it off today. I am still in mourning it. I look like a damn pup, but I guess really I am one...only 25.

Ok, you guys asked for it. Here is my ugly mug minus the beard. We'll see if they let me get away with this; if not I guess I'll be going to just a 'stache.

My wife liked my beard and hasn't seen me yet; wonder what she is gonna say.

Ummmmmmmm.... I'm guessing they wont buy it. I know... you think you can stuff it in an SCBA, but

they wont buy it I'm thinking. Any hair that breaks the seal of the mask is bad. Go for it though...

you never know

Yeah, I thought as much. It's still a month away so I'll have some time to adjust.
