Third week down

We're through three weeks now. We learned how to put on our PPE properly
and we put on SCBAs for a while. Things are starting to pick up pretty
fast. Its a lot to learn in a short period of time, but I really like
it.

Second week

We started our second week today. We started it nicely too, with runs in
The Tower. I think total today we did 5 or 6 runs in the Tower. My
calves are sore and my quads are too. We have a bunch of memorization to
do tonight..A LOT! Hopefully I can get it memorized and not the guy that
makes do Tower runs or add miles to our distance runs!

and did the meet the staff stuff. Its going to be the easiest day of the
whole academy. All in all it was a pretty fun day and I'm really looking
forward to putting my self through hell...

Tied on the Ball and Chain

Melissa and I got married today. Thought it would be cool to be married
on the last day of the year. We just did a small ceremony with just us.
So we'll starting 2008 married and I'll be starting my new career too.

So an ice storm has hit Tulsa. Obviously the time stamp on my photo is wrong (yes, I'm an idiot). I've been really busy on the ambulance since the storm has hit. A few nursing homes lost power and had to be evacuated. I've also received a few emails from TFD and I'm going to go pick up my books for academy and start studing. I've been told that you get placed by how well you do academically...So I would like to do well, so I can get placed at a busy station...that would be grrrrreat.

Finally Confirmation!

I finally received an email that confirms I've been accepted to Tulsa Fire. I will start January 2nd. I'm going tomorrow to get fitted for my uniforms...less than a month to go and I'm starting to get pretty anxious!

Happy Birthday!!

Today was my sons first birthday. It was good times. It also marks that
I have one month before I go to Tulsa Fire academy. I'm ready to go and
anxious to get started.
