Thanks Shooter. I needed to see that today. Brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.

I've been a fireman for 20 years now; the last five I've been serving in the prevention division. A few months back when the budget started heading south, mostly since dumb ass Californian voters never met an entitlement they didn't like and now we're paying for it, I put in for a voluntary transfer to the operations division to save the job an older inspector in a less senior position than mine. Well, those bastards in HR and my boss took that as a voluntary request to be laid off. I got my papers yesterday. I'm still going to operations but somehow those twisted politicians and bureaucrats figured they could now eliminate the job I hold now that wasn't under the gun. Those idiots have never held a "real" job in my opinion. There are those that run towards the fire and those that run from it,. God Bless our Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. They run towards the fire so we don't have to. Now, we need to run towards the fire here at home from now 'till November and beyond to get those clueless idiots out of office.
