^^Actually that's what I originally went in for.. got classed into Fire Dept. after about 16 weeks of Training. That School is challenging, but there are other factors too. Eglin is a nice Base, lots of Clubs. You have to make it through the Course at Lackland first, and lots of people don't cause they don't put in the effort.

If I dont cut it I wouldn't mind getting classed in the Fire Dept.. When I am in school will I have enough freedom to go to all the bars and clubs and stuff? That girls and booze are a few of the things that messed me up in college but I hope that im a little more mature now. I think that if I stay focused I should be able to make it through but only time will tell.

Good luck with it bro, seriously. High wash out rate, but from those who make it they love that **** more than anything else out there. They hate being part of CE now so I'm told

Thanks, I really believe that I will make it as long as I put forth the effort. But if i do end up washing out I will try to go TACP which was my 2nd choice anyways. As long as I get one or the other ill be happy.

I still have that piece of mail, that is something that you will never forget.
I was TDY in Greece getting some poon. Then had to kick the chic out pack and fly back to UK then back to US. That was a busy 4 days.
