A FART to be

Tomorrow, I participate in a potential 6 hour field exercise to be certified as a North Carolina Search and Rescue Technician. I was more active than usual at my biggest, but I can't imagine spending all afternoon and part of the evening slogging through swampland and jungle looking for a dummy 120+ lbs ago. Even the pig barn fire I went to Tuesday night (my first major), with 3 hours of pulling firehose, was a workout like I had never imagined. I'll be back to tell the tale after I wake up Sunday morning.

Good luck to you, Bob - you will do great! You know that we will be behind you every step of the way! Let us know how it goes! Mike

Good luck to you! And thanks for doing what you do. Bob

Get a refill of your rash cream before you start....You will need it by the end of the exercise.... Go get 'em Russ

Wow Bob, way to hit the ground running. Best of luck with the NC SRT gig, that's right up there with those guys running marathons plus it makes a difference to your community which always deserves recognition. Nice work. Thanks, Shane

Bob -- SAR rocks! I am retired USCG so I have some experience. Swamps weren't my forte, but I've been there. I have lost 120+ lbs as well and am finally starting to feel like my old self again. Best of luck! - Yet another Bob

Bob, I'll ready the gas masks for the rest of the Locker Room in anticipation of that big ole stinky FART!!!!! Best of luck to you. I know it's a lot of hard work, but it'll be well worth it in the end my friend. Keep us posted. Troy
