At 3:09pm on April 28, 2010,Nick Morgansaid…: Hey Rick,
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't run into you at FDIC also! I was finally able to meet most of my e-friends face to face. Maybe next year! God bless and stay safe!

At 1:57pm on October 18, 2009,Alex Simonsaid…: Hey Rick, it means

"Don't let the bastards grind you down"

At 3:42pm on October 10, 2009,Alex Simonsaid…: hi! how are you?

At 9:34am on September 17, 2009,Travis Mulvaneysaid…: Hey Rick thanks for the great tips and ideas,
I'm in the process of revamping our training
program and they are coming in real handy

At 2:38pm on September 4, 2009,Travis Mulvaneysaid…: Hey Rick sorry it took me so long to get back to ya. I started back to school and it's been hectic, I'm teaching HS kids and coaching jr. high baseball along with everything else I got going, anyway my email is mulvaney_83@yahoo.com, I'll try and send you a outline of what my training schedule looks like and what we try to accomplish

At 1:56pm on August 8, 2009,Travis Mulvaneysaid…: Hey Rick,
My problem is Ive got a gap between my young and older firefighters.
I understand that the older guys have families and other things to do,
but so do I. As a training officer I have to put in at least double of what
they do but they don't see that. We currently only require 12 hours of training a year and I've got some guys with no hours and it's August. I try to make things fun and try new things and I do the old routine things toobut can't seem to get them here. Any suggestions would be very helpful......

At 10:12am on May 5, 2009,Eddie Buchanansaid…: Hey Rick! Thanks for picking up the book! If you'd like to be more active in the ISFSI, let me know! We need writers all of the time! Eddie B

At 7:49pm on February 8, 2009,Gary Rauchsaid…: Hey Rick, I just noticed you started on BI. That's where I got my start as a cadet and then part time. Spent about 15 years there before I got hired on Downers Grove full time and have had a great 22 year career so far. Got a lot of experience from that place. BE SAFE Brother.

At 11:33pm on January 17, 2009,Chris Ballardsaid…: Hey Rick,

I'm in the same battion as Harding and should see him next day. If I see May I'll try to remember to pass it on.

Chris
