Summary
Being in the fire service for over 25 years, I have learned that you never know enough. I have held many positions and trained in many areas within the service. The one area that has always interested me is the are of fire investigation. The idea of taking something that was destroyed by one of the greatest forces on earth. Then sift through the debris to figure out a cause of the fire. I have also learned that hard work and determination and get you to were you want to be. I have diligently serves in the South Carolina National Guards for 29 years and have finally been promoted to a senior NCO position. If anything this should show that I am committed to what i set my mind to and am willing to give it my all.
