So the resturant I was working at, which was my main source of income has closed. The owners didn't have the sales there to keep it open, luckily I still work at AeroCare. Looks like I'll have a decent "vacation" before academy starts. Though I am still worried about the pension board and if I'll get accepted into the system. I won't know if I've been denied until Novemeber if I am.

Crazy? Or Not?
I went on Wednesday and had my psychological evaluation. I met with the Doc and he said I have the typical personality of a fireman. He read back the traits to me which I guess I fell into. Here are a few I remember.
Outgoing--I try to be
Like's Close Personal Relationships--Yeah, who doesn't
Easy Going--I'm way laid back
Makes Decisions Well, but waits for all the facts--I don't like to rush anything
Dependable--Ok...I don't think they read that right...
Anyways...the moral of the story is everything should be good to go.

Physical Today
my prostate is doing just fine.
Also had a stress test and that wasn't too much fun either.

Looking Down From 80 Feet Up
I went today and did the aerial climb and also took the psych test. It was pretty fun, the psych test was really long though and I will have to go back and have the results read back to me. So I'll know in a few days if I'm crazy or not.

The Begining
So I took a que from my little sister and decided that I would start a blog along with the start of my career. I was recently hired by Tulsa Fire Department and I don't really have any family close. I will update this through out the academy and hopefully continue it through my career as a firefighter. I don't go to academy until January, but no reason not to get started now on the things I'm going to do to get prepared for Academy. I go in on September 27th and take a psych test and also have to climb the aerial ladder. Now I have to start working out since I'm way out of shape and would like to be in some kind of decent shape before the start of Academy.
