This morning we had to report at 7:00am for chore duty. Clean the floors, dust the offices, clean windows, clean and mop the gym...So from today on, we meet at 7:00 for chores and we start class right at 8:00. Today I left around 6:30 am. Tomorrow I will shoot for the same. I think having to report at 7:00 is fine. When we get out in the stations, 7:00 is start time anyhow...
The rest of the day we spent on CPR, organizing our Turnout Cage, and getting our shirts, shorts and other parts of our uniforms. We also had PT. Today, was a good PT day. I don't look at it as what I can't do, I look at it as this is going to really give me what I need to become the firefighter I need to be. With time, some extra work from me and more days like today, I know my strength will increase.
It's nice to have a uniform. I never got a firefighter shirt in O'Fallon. I was supposed to, but somehow it fell through the cracks. Today I put my shirt on and smiled. I finally feel like I'm part of something bigger than myself. And I'm honored to have this opportunity.
Time for bed and another adventure tomorrow...
