Sorry for slow posting

[Bruce=GOAT]

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

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!

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.

[UtterBlitz]

good news, glad to hear it...

[81~BIG-GAME]

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

[HUbison]

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

[RamsFan16]

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!
