Sorry for the delay...but hang on another minute

I know most of you all tune in each day to see something new or read the newer comments on older posts. I will have a couple of posts coming up soon. I have been a little busy with selling and purchasing a new house.

First and foremost, I will be dissecting this issue with UNUM, Empower, BCI, Global...Whatever they call themselves insurance company. I will be looking at many different dimensions of this issue and I hope to enlighten you.

I will also have some pictures up from the banquet. Mainly just to get Kenny Walker off my back.

I have a post that I have wanted to do on the promotional process. The problem is that every time I think of it it is right at promotion time. I would have rather had it out a couple of months ago. Look for that in the future.

And last but not least, we have to come up with an award(s). I would like to see an award given out in some form or fashion from right here on the Roanoke Fire Blog. It could be annually, monthly, weekly, whatever. I just need some ideas. I might have some ideas this weekend.

Maybe weekly superlatives? Sounds pretty good. However, I wouldn't want to hurt anyones feelings. I can see it now: The firefighter most likely to....

Whats up with the sting at #5 last night? Did The police really dress as firemen to arrest some guys with outstanding warrants?

I tell ya another one you can put under "the beatings continue" section. This bulls**t First Lt. Battalion Aide position. The creation of this off the wall, odd ball position is a mistake. Its a slap in the face to the Lt's. It tells them they arent good enough to do the Capts job when they're off. The Lt's dont get any seat time and the FF's dont get the proper drive time and experience they need to become Lt's in the future. No one wins. The Aide has to travel all the time and when not being used he's riding backwards? That takes away the FF job. What does he do? WTF? Put his ass on the car whith the Chief, that would be using the position properly. Not all the shifts or chiefs are using the postition. I guess some of them see what BS it really is.

what's up with the PIO driving RS1, a civilian driving an emergency vehicle on calls?




Here's another one-did you know David Bishop's position isn't funded? They took firefighter from 11 to fund his position. "THE BIG BAD WOLF"

No, not an Aide. Just a pissed off employee. You didnt read the post too well I see.

What I understand is that hoback told Rodney that that position was funded. Another lie by admin. No wonder there are not many questions asked by the captains at captains's meeting. All you get is lies.

I think it's a pissed off LT, he's mad because the chief doesn't think he can do the job !!

The Capt.s now are scared of their jobs too..no backbone if you ask me..Some of the ol capt.s would not have rolled on some of the stuff comin down the pipe..So all you capts out there just bend over more and complain about what is going on and just relax. Worry about what is going on outside of work like most of you..
