Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,707 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) My grandson (only grand child) turned 20 on the 20th of February. Today (his dad's 55th birthday - another senior citizen in the crowd.) he informed us that he is starting a class to learn and get certified to be an EMT, and has been approved, assuming he gets that certification, a place in the fire fighters academy in Las Vegas. I couldn't be prouder of the kid. I guess he isn't a kid any more. Drinks are on me. Edited March 3 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 21 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 977 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Out of the three oldest boys, two are doing fairly well. One is a journeyman electrician, the other is in the food service business( not micky Dee's). Grand Daughters, three not so well. The oldest is between jobs, the middle seems to a career unemployment person, the youngest is working food service( burger place) with the oldest's boyfriend. That family has finally got themselves some steady employment, Mom is manager at a place called Clean Eats, and Dad is Asst. manager at an O'Reilleys auto Parts store. About time they got their heads out of their rears....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,530 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Congratulations, and I'll have whatever is in that bottle over there. Good to hear about some of the younger folks that got the correct formula, and not so much about the nut jobs out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
