A new Firefighter's organization

[snowball]

..........."

[ChiefReason]

66 and 1835:
Do we have an updated version of the membership roster that could be posted here?
I have been getting messages from some who applied some time ago and claims that they had not heard anything back. If we cut and paste the current roster, perhaps prospective members could look at the list before applying or re-applying.
Just a thought. Boy, those Sunday nite meetings are getting crowded, aren't they?

[Lewiston2Capt]

Yeah Chief but I like it! More members, more brains to pick, or more minds to mold, depending on how you look at it.

I would hope that I get to do a little of both.

[hfd66truck]

Chief...

We had a list at one point..but we have grown again.

I will post what I have, with a request to those that are already accepted to point out if they have been missed. For all of those that have applied and not heard anything.....speak up email (hfdfao@hotmail.com) and let me know. We will "expedite" the paperwork.

Dave

This is what I have...........

hfd66truck:
Thank you for the list. I think it will clear up some of the confusion and to those of you not in yet: applications are being reviewed in the order in which they are received.
Dave: I hover in your general direction.;)

[superchef]

More members, more brains to pick, or more minds to mold,

And more mouths to feed. What an awesome group of people. So many great teachers.... :D ;)

[truck6alpha]

A finer selection of crust I have never seen.

[SPIPER]

Dave, I think you forgot me bro. :D

[RspctFrmCalgary]

Respect is EARNED not ASSUMED

[dfdNo9]

Its great to see our membership growing!

I think we may need a bigger bar though! LOL

[RspctFrmCalgary]

awwwwwwwwwww S**T wrong thread LMFAOOOOOOOOOO (wonders if anyone has seen it yet, hmmmmm maybe I should just delete my booboo) nahhhhhhh the message works here too I guess HAHAHAHA

Apology accepted RspctFrmCalgary for the booboo. It is actually quite funny! I almost did it myself.

I believe you are referring to our disrespectful visitor from CT on another that other thread. He has something, but I don't think it is crust.

[RspctFrmCalgary]

OK I finally got my butt in gear!! I restarted the God Forbid thread under General Discussion (on that other site :D) so if everyone could please try to take a look at it (hopefully before Sunday's meeting) and let me know what you think so far. Thanks!!!!!

According to the website we have 91 registered members. According to my list, updated with changes based on Dave's list of Jan. 16, we have 105 members.

[Hudsonfiredude]

WOW,, what a group of Crusty old Jakes,, I hope I made it in on time,, Now I will sit down, shut up, and listen to the wealth of info that will flow from this association for the betterment of the Fire Service .

Dude: what are you smokin'? Seriously though, been working on the secret handshake. It is absolutely mediocre. It's better than mediocre; it's unimpressive; uneventful; truly for the unremarkable.:D
I think you'll like it! ;)
Whoops; got to go warm up my milk.
Toodles.
:cool:

[RspctFrmCalgary]

OK well I just spent the last few hours working on the database and that # isn't really accurate :rolleyes: I found a whole bunch more LOL. I'll post an updated list as soon as I finish.

[RspctFrmCalgary]

OK here's the list. Whew *wipes brow* that only took 4 or 5 hours :rolleyes:

Now, a word of caution ..... I don't know that everyone on this list has had their applications approved. I just took the names from the lists Dave provided and from the registered memberlist from the "other" forums. So if you haven't heard from the powers that be, but still see your name here, don't go getting all excited LOL - this list is a "work in progress" :D

Do you want me to forward explorer applications to you, or are you leaving them to me?

[1835Wayne]

All yours darlin'!!

[RspctFrmCalgary]

drk are you talking to me?????? me Sheri or Cheffie Sherry???? LOL

YOU ARE ON THE LIST HON, LOOK AGAIN!!!! :eek: :eek: :D

[RspctFrmCalgary]

No problem hon, that's what I'm here for! It takes me no time at all to check if someone's on the list or not. Its in alphabetical order :D

[andrew4646]

Sorry I'am so late, just coming aboard. I would be honored to just be considered. Although I am not old and crusty I hope to be that way one day. I think the only job that isen't taken is the other half of the back up team with AVFD25.

[RobbyJR307]

Sorry im late too I would like an explorer/Junior application thanks!!:)

[Adze39]

You'll have to stop by Town Hall for that.

[RxFire]

Most esteemed Mr. President... *grovel*

Upon seeing recognition of being a member of such a fine organization, I humbly volunteer to take up the Ministry of the Wildlands and Urban Interface.

My quals are not as extensive as many, but I live to learn new things in search of Crust (oops, that isn't Crust... it's dried on phoschek).

[FIREFIGHTER251]

hey, cap. let me know were I sign. That is the best idea that I have heard in a long time.

"fear nothing, respect all."

[1261Truckie]

To the Esteemed IACOJ Leadership,

It is too late for another "old guy" to apply for membership?

I offer you the battering ram and/or claw tool as my weapons.

I miss canvas turn-out coats, pull-up 3/4 boots and leather New Yorkers.

As proof of my age, I can tell you Bed-Stuy/Brooklyn stories from the late sixties/early seventies.

Your humble servant,

Jim Boyle (aka 1261Truckie)

"Never Forget the FDNY 343"

[Adze39]

Hey Calgary, don't forget to put "Capt Mike G" as an alias for "mfgentilli" in your list.

RxFire aka Dave is a good jake from the FFF, he has my backing for IACOJ. Don't know these other guys too well, anyone want to speak up for them and save me some work of doing background checks?

[fyrfyter33]

i'd like to be signed up for the IACOJ as well. I am sure I am at the young end of things, at the ripe young age of 23, but have committed myself to the fire service, pursuing degrees in fire science, and spending numerous hours at fire stations since the young age of 14, as an explorer, and even though I don't have a leather helmet, and haven't been in that many fires, I still love every minute of it, and enjoying teaching the new explorers the way of the fire service.

[firmanca]

where do I sign!!!

[RspctFrmCalgary]

Updated to here

[KLMR23]

In Honor of The Five Crusty Sr. Captains who took the time to teach me when I was only twenty-something, and did it well enough that I've lived on into thirty-something, I respectfully wish to join this Honorable organization.
I consider myself indebted and in service to COJ's everywhere, who fought the MUTTS, told the truth, shared their knowlwdge and generally made sure i didn't die from my own stupidity...
I wish only to serve and listen and learn from their simple, straightforward wisdom.

[Rippin73]

I think it is time for a new division in the IACOJ. I propose the International Association of Crusty Young Jakes. Call it an "Explorer" program if you will. Those of us with all of the values of our elders yet we still have all of our hair. (They have made gread strides in facemask harness construction), no more removing clumps of hair when you take the thing off. We give great respect for those who grew our profession from working 72 hrs a week for $125. to today where you wont get rich but you can raise a family. To that I give a tip of the hat (the hat is an N5A of course)

[Adze39]

We already have an explorer program.

[CaptainGonzo]

As the late comedian Jimmy "the Schnozz" Durante would say....

"Jeez Louise...everybody wantsta get into the act!

[Adze39]

See what you started Gonzo!

[CaptainGonzo]

Here is the Old Schnozzola himself!

[truck6alpha]

"See That lever? Pull it!

Actually, the preface to that statement is- "look into this hole"

Nothing like learning about what comes out of a discharge the hard way.

[Rescue101]

Suppose I otta make it official.Appointed to the Dept 6/69 assumed rank of Capt.Eng Co.1 8/74,since then have served as F/T in the City of Rockland Me,District Chief Bridgton Fire,Certified Municipal Fire Instructor 1995-present MFTE,Haz Mat Tech,Heavy Rescue Instructor,Have served with Billy Leach in BRR,Currently Division Chief Safety/Fireground Ops Bridgton Fire/Rescue.Official "tagger" of "El Presidente".I'll deal with the Safety issues for the Crusties,I'm doing it for three towns already.T.C.

[explr985]

Can I join as an explorer?

[1835Wayne]

Yes you can. Please go to the IACOJ explorer registration thread in the off duty section of the forums.

[Temptaker]

Sorry Wayne I got it. I believe membership committee is just waiting for the requested info ;)

[explr985]

Ok is that where I put my info?

[Temptaker]

1 get an email address
2 until you get an email address submit a feedback form, it will be directed to the appropriate people

[1261Truckie]

To The Leadership of the IACOJ,

I would like to join your organization. Do I submit an application or will the following suffice:
1968 to 1975 FDNY - Auxiliary Firefighter assigned to Ladder 132 (In the Eye of the Storm)
1973 to 1986 - Hi-Rise Fire Safety Director - NYC
1995 to Present - Volunteer Firefighter, Lieutenant and Captain Kingwood and Porter Volunteer Fire Departments.

I would like to think there's crust on these old bones and a love of leather and tradition in this old heart.

Best regards to all,

Jim Boyle (aka 1261Truckie)

Great Idea

[Adze39]

And as I said before...we already have an Explorer division.

Am I gonna have to get my puppy-whooping stick out?

[hfd66truck]

For the record:

The IACYJ will be considered a rival organization!

We already have made provisions for an explorer division (as Adze said).

That is all I have to say about that!

Dave

[Adze39]

Not only will it be considered a rival organization, but the BMI will make it its goal to crush it! Any of our explorers who join it will be recommended by the BMI for termination from the IACOJ and everyone on the IACYJ will be shunned!

And that's just for starters!

[raven911]

Sounds like a pretty good puppy-whooping stick to me! Crust has to be earned. Only a few are truly crusty, the rest of us can only strive to be so until our time comes.

[1835Wayne]

Which way did that darn pup go???????:D

[ChiefReason]

Rippin73 has not posted since 3/21/03; the same day that IACOJ board members asked him not to use "Founding Member IACYJ" in his signature. It was clearly articulated that: 1)The IACOJ has a division for young firefighters and explorers 2)"IACYJ" would confuse potential applicants and, most importantly, 3) IACOJ is copyrighted and therefore, protected by law. I was given the opinion of the attorney that similarities to both "IACOJ" and "International Association of Crusty Old Jakes" would be challenged.
We, at IACOJ are not bullies, but we have worked hard to build a following and in the spirit upon which we were founded by our esteemed president, we will fight to protect it with all of our resources.
CR

[explr985]

Is it safe to come out now????:eek:

[Temptaker]

Wayne,

Young explr985 has already been advised of how to submit his info via the iacoj site to the membership committee. The reasons for it, blah blah blah. To date he has not done so.

[explr985]

Tempie, I have not yet had time to do so. I will try to register this weekend. Been busy with International Home Furnishings Market in High Point N.C.

[wyesguy24]

(on my knees groveling)

I am a new member of the forum. For a awhile I have been reading the posts. I am in awe of the fountain of knowledge. My dad was a fire fighter and I grew up in the hall. I cannot express the respect I have for those before me. I have checked everyday for the 4 years I've been in for crust. If I become half the firefighter you guys are I will be truly crustworthy. Therefore I must humbly apply for the honor of membership.

[explr985]

Looking for helmet for air raid...:D :p :D :p.

[hfd66truck]

wyesguy24..shoot me an email mail (dleblanc@iacoj.com)

985, What in the hell are you talking about????????

sssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Dave

[Temptaker]

Dave don't worry about it, exp membership committee still hasn't gotten his info. From some of his posts it appears he only wanted some initials to put in his signature. Perhaps he thinks if he keeps posting in this thread, that he'll just blend in? :rolleyes:

[hfd66truck]

Worried I wasn't.....;) :D

[SmokeEater661]

It would be an honor to be allowed in your prestigous organization. I'm a Vol. Firefighter, an NREMT-B, Hazmat Tech. Some of my favorite times at the Firehouse is listening to those who invented what I'm learning to do. I've been reading these posts for awhile(I usually do more reading than responding)and I have always wondered how to become a member. If there are any openings in the membership I would like a chance.

[hfd66truck]

Smoke..email coming your way

Dave

[Anyway]

Can a former FF/Medic of 15 years be a member??

[hfd66truck]

Anyway..shoot me an email mail (dleblanc@iacoj.com)

[kghemtp]

Since a chief and instructor at the academy said, "F*#@ing Paramedic!" I'll take RIT team as well as forcing the old crusts to suck on oxygen rather than just having "a good smoke" when they come to rehab. No burnt crust on this guy, but had enough times wondering what that crap was I just inhaled because my mask wasn't on in the house!

[Giffordd]

I beseech the powers at be, to please let me join their honorable organization so that I may be able to help SMITE mutts everywhere.

1989-1998 Military

While I have only recently signed up with Firehouse,
I have noticed the IACOJ tags under peoples posts and wondered what the heck it stood for. Now that I know what it stands for I definitely would like for my application to be considered for membership. While I only have 4 yrs in the fire service, I look foward to Many Years (Good Lord Willin) in the Fire Service and
am proud to have the Title of Firefighter and hope to live up the the standard always.

IACOJ Fireboat 1 just had her annual deck inspections. During pump testing we only got 35,000gpm, must be some seaweed on the strainer. Managed to squeeze 21 knots on the timed speed run, one hell of a wake behind us. The new EMS "Sick Bay" is now fully stocked and in service. We've also recently upgraded the galley, Cheffie, we're hoping you'll come down and christen it for us! Now if only I can find that slacker who's captain for 2nd watch, have not seen him in a while...

At the risk of temporarily diverting member's attention with wanton thoughts...I could probably be counted on to personally gently and carefully nurse the wounded and weary through their afflictions. I don't have much crust but I have produced a black booger or two. I think I even hacked once.

Back, and I'd like to think with a little more crust. Well, maybe not crust by COJ standards but I'm working on it...I hope the two, close to three more years under my belt has done me some good.

I was reading some old e-mails the other day that I had saved and found where Capt. Gonzo had assigned all the "IACOJ Explorers" to their "COJ"....I was assigned to Steamer...are you still around Steamer??

I would join you all more often on the IACOJ website but I have about given up, it'll let me log in but not post.

If you don't tell anyone that there is a problem, how on earth would it get fixed? You could have tried clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the menu. Or tried sending an email or PM to one of the BOD. Or sent a PM from right here on FH. There are so many ways to contact an IACOJ member, we are quite visible after all ;) Dave is a genius at figuring these things out but first he has to know about it :D

[Co11FireGal]

I know, you're very right...

It's a time thing anymore. :) Phew...who knew college was gonna be so very tricky?!:rolleyes: And apparently the fire dept. doesn't take up less of your time as the time goes by, it seems to take up more...go figure.:p

Thanksgiving break is goooooood!!

The Lady from the Frozen North is correct, send a message to the BOD on the site.

It is a great BOD after all. We can do many things with our BOD. :p

Hey all, I recently applied to join at the IACOJ site. Was doing some searching on the organization and liked what I read when I came across this original, founding thread. Noticed not much on the IACOJ has been posted in 2008.

My way of informing everyone I like what you've all established and I only hope I will be welcomed to begin my rather crusty future with you all at IACOJ, what sounds like a great source of not only information and knowledge.. but a community of people in the fire service looking for continued and evolving excellence in the fire service.. and of course to keep the honor of those crusties before us.

[BLSboy]

Holy crap. What a revival.

For those non members, if I may have a moment of your time...

Apply. For your own good, and ours. There is little to no drama, and plenty of learning. Knowlage is shared. Friendships are forged.

Well worth it.

[volfirie]

But remember, if you want to insult people, stay away. We don't want you. Tolerance for opposing views is a pre-requisite.

[1835Wayne]

WOW! Finally a thread over here worth replying to!!!!:rolleyes: :p :D

Definately a blast from the past! I didn't even know it was still around......

We should keep it alive for posterity, where it all began!

I love it. I miss the old days, but love integrating the old with the new to make the best of the situation. Count me in.

If you want to apply, goto http://iacoj.com and act as if you're going to register a username for the forum. It will be the application to apply for IACOJ membership.

I believe that is the correct path? Could a member of the IACOJ confirm? Also, could someone also confirm my application was received without error? I was having problems with it before it told me it was sent.


Any other steps required to join, please inform. If you haven't noticed, I am very excited and anxious to be part of the Crust. Thanks in advance to all who respond and help! Much appreciated. :)
