KORN "Wake Up!"

  Actually the title of the song is "Wake The Fu*K Up."

  So much going on with YOUR governor right now, so much with training and little issues on our, and probably your, department right now.  WHAT A CONFUSING TIME!!!
  So what does The Warrior do?  

 HE WAKE'S THE FUCK UP!  That's what The Warrior does!


  We have a governor putting the screws to us, we have State, County, and Local budgets putting the screws to us.  But we still get on the rig, and do what we do.  There is NOTHING that can keep us from that, no matter how fair or not.  We are what we are.  When off duty, we hold doors for strangers, we rush in to help at the little league baseball game when someone else's kid is hurt, we don't park in handicapped spaces, we always think of others FIRST, it's not a thought, it's who we are.  We fly the flag to honor the true heroes. You call us heroes, but not one of us thinks that way, we're just "Doing what WE do!"  We KNOW who the true heroes are!

  We're not looking for a handout.  We're not looking for money from the State.  What we are looking for is a well deserved pension.  Gov Kasich compares us to the private sector employees.  When was the last time a private employee was sleeping, woke up at 02:17 AM, put on 80 lbs of extra equipment, showed up in 2 minutes, and had Grandma on oxygen within 4 minutes of the time she called 911?  Do Gov Kasich's private employees do that? If so, I was unaware.

  My whole problem with Gov Kasich being a manipulative liar, deliberately confusing tax payers by changing SB5 to issue 2, rearranging committee members to force his bill to pass, and MANY other things, is that those same actions would get you and I fired from our job, our job to protect the citizens of Ohio from unknown perils.

  That IS our job!  To protect unknown citizens from unknown perils.  I "thought" that's why we hired a governor?  To protect us, the tax paying citizens of Ohio from unknown perils.

  I guess not!

  The MOST HATED GOV IN THE USA belongs to you!  The citizen of Ohio!  Congrats!

  Now on to the purpose of this blog.  I have literally 3 pages of mathematical equations for friction loss in nozzles, a bailout class planned, SCBA consumption drills planned, and a host of other things planned to be one step ahead when my, OUR, citizens need us.  You deserve the best, and if it was up to me, you shall get the best!  And trust me, you will get THE BEST.  No Governor will take that from a Warrior, EVER!

  But I can't be concerned about that "trivial" stuff right now, because I'm focused on Issue 2, and making sure MY citizens know the truth about it.  Do you want the highly trained professionals thinking about YOU, or politics and the Governor?

  Is Gov Kasich gonna show up and pull your kid out of the fire?  NO!  Not only is he trying to get his way, to benefit his corporate cronies, this whole SB5 has a trickle down effect, and is keeping the professionals from training how to save you.  YOU, the average citizen.  I hope you never call us, but we are just "911" away.  Too bad your Governor doesn't see it that way.

  In the meantime my brothers and sisters, lets not forget about training!  Let's go do what we do!!!!

  I would like to get back to the purpose of this blog, TRAINING.  But for now, I can't.

Let's keep Ohio safe from the ground up!
  VOTE NO ON ISSUE 2!!!
