    I haven't heard from them but I called about 2 weeks ago, only because I knew I would be really busy with work/ on the road for a while, and it was all confirmed that it was good to go. It feels like I won the lotto. This means a lot to me, and I am so very much appreciative of this coming...

    Mathematics applying/within the Forces.

    If you don't use it, you lose it. It's been covered that no one whose taken can divulge information about. You sign your name to that, as a matter of fact. Try using math in your every day life. Precalculate tax before you purchase things, stop using calculators to shed the dependancy we all...

    "Smitherman: Firefighters should swallow EMS"

    Pretty much the entire United States requires all Firefighters to be at least have their EMT-Basic, if not their EMT - Paramedic. Quite often the EMT - Paramedic must be completed after being hired on anyway. In fact EMT-Basic is a requisite ticket to have in order to start some Firefighter...
