I'm so excited, I just wanted to share this with everyone. After a very long three year application/testing process, I just found out today that I have officially been accepted to the New Orleans Fire Department. Out of 200 applicants, only 17 of us will be in the very first academy to follow Hurricane Katrina.



I go to orientation on July 14th, and start school on the 24th. I can't wait to get started! :woot2:
 
Congrats JD..I can see you are very excited....



I am sure once you get a home station you will have those engines shining...



Just remember..be safe... and good luck at the academy....

Yes welcome to the brotherhood...



I guess watching backdraft and rescue me worked..



Have fun in recruit class they will beat you up good..



(13 years firefighter/paramedic)
 
Congratulations!



I really admire folks in the Fire and Police services. All of that hazard for such little compensation, it takes great dedication.

Actually, I don't care for Rescue Me, and I haven't seen Backdraft until recently. I do like the movie Ladder 49 though.



I decided to be a firefighter many years ago, but couldn't act on it until I sold my businesses, which I did three years ago. The week I sold my businesses is the week I applied for the dept.



I have a lot of friends and family in the dept. already, which helped my decision also. Some of the best people I know are firefighters. :hifive: My cop buddies are cool too, but you can't tell them that. LOL. :secret
