I have been scanning these forums for quite a while now and the thing that bothers me the most about some of the ****ing contests that occur on these forums is the issue of "paid or vollie". Are we not all in it for the same reasons?? I may be out of line, and I may anger some people with this post but I guess it is my time to vent. The area I am from is all vollie, and this is because we are mostly rural. Just because I am a vollie doesn't mean I am any any less dedicated, trained, or proud than a career FF, and it doesn't mean that I look at a career guy as a know-it-all firegod (although I do envy you for doing what I love for a living). We all do what we do because we choose to do so, we love doin' it, and we are proud of our profession. I don't care if you run 5 calls a year or 5000, we are all in it for the same reasons. I can't see bashin' someone because they are one or the other.
The last time I checked, once the suit is on, pack is donned, you can't tell one from the other, so what is the big deal?
Be safe, be proud, and God Bless.
