Long breath in....long sigh out
I really hate the fact that people who truly don't want this job are being actively "recruited". One would think that if you really wanted to be a fireman, at the least, you would know how to start the process and take the test. Sometimes I am glad I left PC Massachusetts.
On another note, I am glad to see Boston getting some new apparatus. I wish they would keep the Boston logo/font. It was truly a defining feature of the department. They should put the shamrocks back on too.

I'm right there with you Roy. The main reason why I moved to NH was too many years of getting passed over or not even looked at because I was a white male who decided to get a college degree instead of going into the military. It didn't matter that I wanted the job more than anybody.
