In Maryland & John is an Official Captain now!

I got into Emmitsburg yesterday afternoon. The flights weren't too bad. I actually slept through part of it. But all is good and I will be here at the National Fire Acadamy for the next few days.

I wanted to post some pictures we took of me putting on John's new captain badge. He went and met with the Chief yesterday and got all of his gear and brass. So now he is offially a captain. I can't use my laptop so I have to come to a computer lab to check email and update the blogger. So no pictures for now. I will get them up as soon as I can.


Emmitsburg is really beautiful. Where the NFA is located is in just an incredible part of Maryland. It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere and I think it's actually an old military base. I figured they would want this place closer to Washington DC or to a major city. It is nice though. I had to park my car on the other side of the campus and had to keep walking back and forth. That was creepy since it was night time. No one was around and you would swear someone was following you.
