I don't know how to get the info that I am one proud and happy SOB. My son was hired today as a FF in a north Illinois suburb. He did 2 tours in Iraq as a USMC CFR FF and another one year tour in Iraq as a contract FF with WSI. He got to see the President when he made a surprize visit to Al-Asad AB. Now I know how you pops, and moms  feel when your son goes on the job.

Congradulations to both Senior and Junior Grumpy's. With his background, he'll be an Excellent Firefighter. I'm glad for The Grumpy Family. Congradulations to the New Probie.

He is going to Beach Park. It is in the NW suburbs near the WI border. In the wintertime it is a quiet town, but when the weather warms up things change. It is close to 6 Flags, several theme parks, a large recreational park and resort, several large shopping areas including a discount shopping mall, and is close to a major interstate highway connecting Chicago and Milwaukee. But THE JOB IS THE JOB. Thanx for all the congrats :)
