I use both terms, I tend to use "Hook" when Im talking about a short pike pole.

As some may or may not know the opening day of the BOW ONLY hunting season is almost upon us. We all realize that we have an overpopulation issue with the whitetail deer herd here in Westchester county.

I am an avid bowhunter with over 15 years experience and would be more than happy (and quite grateful) if any members have land (or know of someone with land) in the area where I can harvest deer. To make things easy; I have ready made permission and liability waiver (I waive any liability the homeowner would have as a result from any activities I engage in) forms. I am like a ghost on the property and have references from other land owners from whom I have permission. All animals I harvest areprofessionally processed and all the venison is consumed by my family or the landowner if they so choose.

I am not strictlly a trophy hunter like many who give hunters a bad name, and am a firm believer in conservation and wildlife management.

Please email me if you can be of any help, or have any questions.

Thank You,

Matt

Attn: Chiefs, I would be happy to quote you for any Equipment you may need.....Have Municiple references.

Is there a reason why you guys wouldn't take you ear jelery out and wear a long sleved shirt w/ tie at an interview? I would stay away from any ink work on neck/face/hands, other than that you should be OK.

Patientce my young apprentice, Leary will deliver.

I did not realize this occured......RIP.

Anyone have the run down????

3K thats nothing! #-o

You guys remember the county parade we had a few years back? Without the street fair we had about 150 people along the entire parade route. Other than us firefighters it seems no one cares.

How does a puke green engine take the Best Engine trophy? Blasphemy!!

Anybody have a rundown of the awards......Was pissed I had to miss it until it started raining

What is all the hub-bub about......There is a problem driving your shaggin wagon over the supply line and then driving trough the collape zone? Coming to a department near you (pesky bylaws)

Read before you type please

=D> Outstanding!

Physical fitness is the "unspoken" safety problem in the fire service. Recently a member of a department passed away. The thing that shocked everyone in attendance is that this guy was an interior firefighter and instructor...and weighed over 400 lbs. In the volunteer fire service we don't want to chase our members away by hurting thier feelings - does that mean that it is OK to die on the fire ground instead? That's acceptable? Not to me its not.

I thought some might get a laugh out of this.....I know of a guy in a department who has a license to operate ships up to 500tons, and has a degree from a Maritime college. His degree included a 6 credit marine firefighting class (100 hours). His department told him he "was not qualified" to be on their boat (like 25') when he tried to help out at a call.

Yes I know DMA is qualified, my point is what if he didnt want to drive, would that make him an unfit officer?

And Im done with this one, its like beating my head against a brick wall.

Those who don't feel Officer Training is vital and take offense when you talk about it are those whom are Officers and aren't trained properly.

Bottom line, if you don't agree or become sensitive about it, you obviously don't have what it takes.

Im quite sure I "have what it takes". I am not being sensitive or even disagreeing that training is important. All im saying is that training is not the end all be all, there are other things involved with being a sucessful leader as other posts have illuded to. Why must there always be that one Ahole that turns good threads into personal attacks? You must be tight with my man Ed Knowsall.

585: I think it's great that all 119 officers must be drivers, but what if a guy like DMA wasn't comfortable driving? Would that mean he doesn't have the tools to be a good officer? Just playing devils advocate here.
