Sorry for slow posting

Hey all, just wanted to touch base with all my ClanRam friends and say that I am sorry that I have not posted much recently. I realize that not many have probably noticed my being gone, but I just completed my EMT certification and am still hoping to become a firefighter here in Bowling Green, KY ( the home of Western Kentucky University). My official tryout is September 15th and I hope that 3rd times a charm. I got incredibly close last year and hope that adding my EMT certification will push me over the top. I have been trying to ignore football as much as possible, which means 3 hours a day compared to 13 LOL. Anyhow, I can't wait to see the Rams play this year, and I truly think we will do well. Peace, Brian

Actually I have noticed that you haven't been around much. Good luck with your pursuit of the Firefighter job.

Back in the late 70's I actually took the firefighter exam and strength test. Passed with flying colors on both but the way they did it Massachusetts back in those days was like this:

Afro-American Veteran + 10 points (automatic on the written)
Veteran + 5 points (automatic on the written)
I am neither.

So anyway I scored a 92 on the written and the strength test was pass or fail.

We were allowed to put our names on the waiting list of three towns/cities in the state.. I was an average of 25th on the list of all three towns including the town I lived in. I didn't have the patience to wait out the Firefighter job so I pursued another career.

Again, Good Luck

Good luck Brian....third time can be a charm. Hope you get in.

We will be thinking of you bud!! Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

Congrats on the certification, and good luck with the firefighter position. Take care of business first; we'll be here when you get back.

I hope that works out for you, and the Rams are going to have a great season!

Good luck with that bro, good to see somebody not giving up and trying their hardest to reach their goal, well done!..

For anyone interested in my quest:

Good news! I scored an 84% on my written exam today and completed the physical fitness test (CPAT) with over 2 minutes to spare. They should be calling me on Monday to schedule an interview. They are looking to hire between 3 and 5 firefighters, so hopefully I am one of the chosen few.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Knowing I have lots of friends to support me helps a bunch.

:) good news, glad to hear it... :)

Well done, you should be proud of yourself for getting so far and hopefully you make it in man..

Great news, pal.

I surmise this to say you are yet akimbo, while in limbo? :)

What are you doing to entertain yourself while you wait for you and your job-of-choice to find each other?

Good luck! :l

Hows that test turn out for you? You get scheduled or anything? Since you were busy when I called I haven't heard nothing.


Hows it coming?


Congrats man!

Thanks for wondering guys. I should hopefully hear something by the end of the business day on Friday. Wish me luck!
