So the test is upon me. Sunday May 18th - 2:30-6:30 PMI am putting the final touches on my scenarios and plan to continue to study until Sunday. I have worked hard and regardless of the results this is what I know.
I couldn't have studied more diligently than I have over the last 4 months. I wrote out over 80 scenarios by hand. I studied for endless hours, at home and at work. I read (skimming where necessary) over 2000 pages of Fire Department Manuals. I took over 200 pages of notes in an effort to consolidate the information presented.
I have learned that I am blessed to have true friends in this job who are honest, dependable and as intelligent as they come. I have with an open heart received the support of my wife, son and family. My friends have given me their shoulders, their wisdom and their ears.
I have faced something that I have been afraid of doing for a long time and come out of it stronger, braver and more sure of myself.
So I have already won on this test. I have done my best and only what I write down on Sunday is now in my control. The drama, politics, and all that follow are not.
So I let go of it all, and thank those who have helped me.
As we say in this job,
Under Investigation....More to follow.

18 is the holiest number in Judaism - the number for life. That's got to be a good day to do anything, especially something meaningful. I will be holding you in my heart and thoughts really tight on Sunday afternoon. You're awesome!! :)
Cyn, you are in my thoughts today, even if I am on the other side of the world. Go hit the ball out of the park: you've earned it!
