I have finally had enough. I have transferred from comms to Orchard Hills. So I am now getting back on the Big Red Trucks full time. This is a positive step forward for me as I felt that I was becoming stale by staying in the communications Brigade as they were making it very hard for me to get anywhere or develop any skills.
My only reason I can see for them doing this is that they feel threatened by someone considerably younger than them becoming more knowledgeable and qualified then they are.
This did not become without a little sadness, as many of my friends know I was (and still am) passionate about my role in the communications brigade, but you can only take so much crap.
One really good thing about transferring to Orchard hills is my new house is being built about 2 mins away from the station. So I really will be putting back into my own community.
I already know the majority of members there so attending training and social nights so far has been no dramas. All I have to do know is wait for a pager and key to the station so I can start turning out to fire calls.
A really good close friend has said to me:
"I would never expect anyone to do something that I would not do myself"
I relate this back to the RFS and it is one of the reasons I will continue to give many more years of service.
awesome move, after all the crap you have put up with the move will do you good.
