Four words
"The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

I went back through his recent posts, and if I was a bettin man, i would put dollars to doghnuts that it was the "racist" comment about Massfireguy. Context or not, that could very well get you a day or two in detention.
The Kentland revisted thread was surprisingly restrained, and his little tiff with Dr.Parasite in the trooper thread was nothing new or unusual between them.
Curious now...

He already has a hydrant, so does this mean he gets an oak leaf cluster on it? Or perhaps a Maltese Cluster.... Originally Posted by FDAIC485

And............
I would like to add my name to those who would like to have George Reinstated.
George does something that many, many people won't do in today's world. He calls them as he sees them. Right or wrong, he has an opinion, and he'll tell it like it is. And, again like few folks anymore, He will apoligize when it is appropriate, if a mistake is made.Never use Force! Get a Bigger Hammer.

It did seem a little quiet around here. Anyone know how long he is gone for? He adds a certain something to this forum.

Well, George is reading over our shoulders, so maybe he'll tune us all in over at the crusty site.
