by the sounds of it I may have a good shot at something lol. Guys were talking last night laughing and cracking jokes about putting their names in. Sounds like a lot of the officers we have now won't be putting their names in. The father of 2 of our officers ran for chief and lost and the one is already butt hurt about it. Our one LT i guess said that as soon as the new officers take office he's not gonna come around anymore.

I was like damn am I the only one to put my name in? I'll prolly get black listed but oh well f em

I wouldn't trust those jokers. They probably all put their names in the tilt. That happens at my job. If there's a promotion available folks say they don't want it but the when the list comes out, they are on it. I guess they're trying to get better odds.

Good luck.

Oh the term "Sarge" are for those fat guys. I was in the military and one sargent told me that.

I don't get paid now nore(sp?) will I as an officer. we are a volunteer company. only paid staff we have is an EMT during the day.

I have no idea when I'll find out I may not here anything till its closer to the new chief taking office which isn't till the end of the year. I wish I would hear something sooner I hate suspense.

Oh well I'm not worried about it if I don't get a spot I'm not gonna care like I said wouldn't be the first time i got turned down
