As a chief officer it’s easy to get frustrated with the budgets, the reports, the salesman, keeping up with the standards ect ect; however it is also all very worth it when your guys just kicked butt on a call, let me get dirty and as you pull back in see a full parking lot. Let’s all be thankful for our folks who give their time to study, train and work hard for our communities.
