eta emt

We found out yesterday, via mail, that Josh isn't eligible to apply for the lateral FF position in Tukwila.  It was a disappointment to me, but it's actually good because it means he can stop studying for the exam and start focusing on the EMT test. He has too much on his plate right now to be worrying about both exams. I am glad he can just focus on one for now and use the EMT cert as a catalyst to open up possibilities for the Fire Department.  It will be easier for him to apply for FF positions with the EMT cert anyway.  And, if nothing comes available in the area of Firefighting, he can use the EMT cert to get a PT job that will actually allow him to work on his business.  It's a good thing.  Fingers crossed he studies and makes it in to the program.

UPDATE:  Scratch that. Not 30 minutes after posting this, Josh discovered Bremerton FD is accepting applications for FF's without EMT cert until 2/23.  Here we go again......
