volunteer firefighter 5 years
I was a volunteer fireman for many years and now hold a life membership, although I haven't been in the firehall for years. I was a volunteer EMT for 10 years (started back in a971), then let it go for 10 years. A buddy and I decided to take the challenge test(with a quick refresher course first) and we were both EMTs again. 10 more years and I let it go in 2002.......
Most enjoyable was being a volunteer in Civil Air Patrol (well some of it was enjoyable, anyway). I learned to fly and got some good flying in, met Digger242 there, and remain close friends. Thats probably the best part, short of the feeling that a volunteer gets when he really makes a positive mark on someones life........

I was a volunteer for 11 years, i was Safety Officer for 2 years and 1st Assistant Chief for the last 3.5 years. Got tired of the BS and time away from family, started to effect me financially too with all the meetings with surrounding towns, town board meetings and county meetings. Too much political back stabbing, in house bickering and i didnt volunteer my wallet when i joined up. I take my hat off to those who still do it and i fully support all Firefighters and EMT personel.
