See ya Collins (AGAIN)

As of the 29th of this month Brother Collins will no longer be a member of battalion 3. With Lt. Holm being placed on light duty for a short period of time, FF/P DeWitt will be moved from batt1 and placed into an acting position on E-1, which gets Brother Collins a one-way ticket to batt 1. Maybe someday he'll be able to find his way back.

Congrats to Cullen

Congratulations to Brother Cullen for completing his probationary status. Sept. 22nd was his first year anniversary date. The next hurdle ahead is seeing to it that the "sophomore slump" doesn't set it.

Sorry Dumas

In the last post, I stated that Brother Dumas had just celebrated his 10th year on the job, and apparently, I need to use my reading glasses more often. Davie joined the dept on September 9, 1995, which by most folks, would add up to 13 years, not 10. Thank you to Lt. France for bringing it to my attention.

Batt 3 update

O.K. I will be the first to admit it. I am a HUGE slacker. I haven't updated this site in over 2 months. There hasn't been a whole lot going on really, with the exception of a few anniversaries that I would like to take this opportunity to recognize.



Lt. French celebrated his 25th year on September 3rd, FF/P DiGeronimo made 19 on August 26, FF Dumas has 10 years as of September 9th, and FF Freitas celebrated his 3 rd on September 9th. Congrats to all.



On a side note, Lt. Holm has injured his back, and will be out for an undetermined amount of time. I have been unable to get in touch of Ian, and so I am not sure of what he has going on and if he needs a hand with anything. I hope he recovers quickly from his injury, and doesn't hesitate to call if he needs help. I'll take his rail car out periodically if needed. I hear they tend to get flat spots in the wheels if they sit for too long.
