thank you for the luck.. im pretty much in.. just a few more little tests.. one comin up on wednesday.. but about the calls and what not.. ya i hear you.. are you special opps and all that too?..

and also, who wants to miss a structure fire right?.. i cant wait for standards.. we run hose evolutions and other drills now with cones, and courses and stuff.. but just gets me more and more pumped for the real stuff.. my bro in law who is 5 years in at Osceola County, and testing for Orlando, just finished his medic, has Special Opps, ride out of grade engineer, and your basica fire/emt.. but he said, once you get that first training fire, your hooked.. I CANT WAIT!

Nice looking truck. Very cool that you're able to utilize it as a service vehicle. I went to school to be a police officer, so I always have first aid and flares in my truck. I can't tell you how many times I've been the sole witness to drunk driving accidents here in San Diego. Go figure. I need to get myself a nice scanner and Ham radio next.

You're not a professional firefighter until you have taken it on as a profession. You are a professional in network security. Well that and LED installation

The truck looks good with the McCain sticker also.

HAHA, thank you!

It depends on your terminology. I consider to be a "professional" due to the amount of training that I have undertaken. A professional can be, by one of its many definitions, "Having or showing great skill; expert."

You dont have to get paid to be a professional.

Oh yeah, the truck looks nice too.

Nice work, looks sweet for sure.

Can you set the rear amber to advice LEFT or RIGHT? That might be something worth looking into for situations like the example car accident you posted.

Thanks for the service and clear dedication to serving others

Thanks! I spent quite an amount of money, time, and a little bit of blood (damn sharp edges!) into this.

The traffic advisor can be switched to be used as a directional bar but would require a switch box to do so. I have run out of room within the console to do so and do not want to explore other options to mount it. Also, I have noticed that people heed no attention to the direction of a traffic advisor.

Nice!

Most of us GI's have renamed the Panasonic Toughbooks as "NOT SO Tough-books" and "WISH IT WAS A Tough-book"....

Ya, I understand that. This model is a semi-rugged and it shows it. Next one I am purchasing will be fully rugged.
