Out with the old, in with the new

To kinda bring the last post to a close, the mind won. End of story.
So this past Saturday I finished my training as a firefighter we did an all day burn at a burn building in La Porte. It’s a concrete building that’s built just for that. We put hay in there and lit it on fire and did scenarios. Now I’m on probation for a year. I’ve been apart of the department since the beginning of October and I already have a nickname, sunshine. They call me this bc my hair sticks out from under my helmet. The first person to call me this was actually an instructor from the extrication training I went to in Katy in November. They keep threatening to cut my hair, but what else is new. I’ve learned alot and am eager to learn more.
