No Marc's intention was not bad. I was just trying to prove a point of how easy photos get bounced around. There had been many heated debates about water marking photos. I just wanted to point out the reason it's done. Had the watermark not been there, I am sure there's a good chance that the photo would have been posted some place without the credit to Joe

I believe it's better known as "Esprit de Corps" and I'd be more concerned if they didn't feel like they were better then the other Rescue Companies.

I think your on a tough subject. I do agree with the Brothers getting made ,but my experience is that FDNY does a great job at this and I think this is not done matter of factly in a lot of places. The way guys get made these days is a crap shoot. The concept of earning it and getting made , at least in my job (Lynn,Mass FD) are far apart. We have a Dept Chief who was NUMBER #3 on the promotional list and who will at least be acting chief of dept!!!!
so hats off to FDNY for again doing something right.. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
