Yes sir, we train all the time.
Many instructors across this nation can attest the long hours we spend providing training for hundreds of thousands of our all-hazards public safety professionals from all walks of life.
This is truly what we train for.
I’m no scientist, but #Hurricane #Irma looks fugly
I have a weird feeling that it’s going to be Florida.
Things are spinning up and quite honestly, Hurricane Irma looks pretty fugly.
Changing my Saturday plans in 3…2..1…
Welp, Saturday plans will have to look slightly different now.
Better mount up as I *think this is for Texas.
Well, I don’t *think I’m going to need my tie, but definitely my best pair of boots.
