In 12 hours I have to be standing tall to take the Fire Captain's exam.  I have been acting captain for the past 7-8 months, and am fairly confident... but damn.  Just a little nervous.


Update! I passed!!!

DO NOT rub the fireman's helmet.  He'll spit in your eye.

If they ask you to rub the pole, whatever you do do NOT say, "Yours or mine?"


Good Luck!!

What's the saying, "Rangers lead the way"!!!!!  

Don't sweat the small stuff, it's not like you have to run the "Darby Queen" a dozen times in  row or live off a MRE every other day in Ranger school.

I knew a guy (an ex's uncle) that was up for a burough commander's job in the NYFD.

He was sitting in the Commissioner's waiting room for his interview, nervously, and took out a cigarette.

Just as he lit the cigarette the secretary said, "The Commissioner will see you now."

He put the lit cigarette back in the pack, put the pack back in his pocket, and went in for his interview with the Fire Commissioner for the City of New York.

True story!

Yeah, I know.

This will give me about a $10k bump in pay.  Not a recycle.

IIRC I only ran the girl once.  Fell off those "uneven logs", hit the ground and kept running.  The RI never noticed.  (but then again, those days are kinda vague, ya know... )

Relax ... You'll do fine.

Part of the test is building animosity in you ...
If you are confident in yourself... it shows.

So chill out, get a good nights sleep, and kick ass.

Dad.

EDIT:  Git that " nobody special " shit off your avatar.
