To all the OGs and long timers on this post. I’ve watched this post slowly die over the last few years and I think it’s finally time to consider it dead.

The amount of information I have gained...

Havnt seen anything like that.

I’m doing pretty well. Could go for some more calls right now but otherwise everything is good.

What’s everyone’s plans for 2021

For the written stick to what they told you to study. No need to seek more information there.

As for the two stations you know of.
The command part either TA or fire just remember to not over...

Do you know what is all involved in your assessment center?
