On the truck today I have a guy who's newer on the job and regularly assigned to an engine. After about an hour of drilling on portable ladders and forcible entry he said to me "Sarge, I just don't wanna let anyone down..." Probably one of the best things I've ever heard a fireman say.
I told him "well if you start with that everyday, that will give you motivation and the rest will quickly fall in line with practice". Sometimes it's just that simple - his motivation inspired me.
This is a team sport. We're all counting on you to be in the right spot, with the right stuff, and the right skills, at the right time. We can't let anyone down.
Combat Ready.
