I have to brag a little bit, but didnt want to pollute another thread. When I originally wrote this lecture, I was a Lieutenant. I've since been promoted to my current position of Captain. I found out last Tuesday that as of this coming Monday, February 9th, I'll be promoted once again to Assistant Chief. I'm going to be in charge of ensuring our paperwork is in order with the State, writing grants, and ensuring we have the best rating attainable to help save our community money on their insurance. I'm thrilled for the opportunity, and I've always dreamed of wearing the White Helmet.
