No thanks necessary, but appreciated nonetheless. I'm no longer in the field, but in my new job I still have your backs.
That sounds like a serious gig there, Pony. Watch your *** and get back here in one piece, please. Thank you, sir.
Do you think you kill more people in office than in the field or is it hard to say? J/k. Hey I said I was inquisitive.
Who has more fun than people eh?
I know I know,if you made the info pervious you would have to tie up the loose ends.Yeah, I realy don't want to know..lol
Lets talk more about oxygen and Nitrogen
:)
I just heard today a 60 year old west coast timber faller that I knew was killed two days ago. Sadly,its very common that guys with a life time of experience don't make it out.
The experience can't beat Father Time.
yet they put the vets in the tuffest ground and the young in the gravy.
there is no reward with these vets like John ~RIP. The truth of it is one life lost but all that sketchy ground he would have laid down in the name of experience
perhaps 3..maybe 5 less competent may have been killed or maimed ? Rationalization.
Couple things I know is we don't go to each others funerals and I never ever park anywhere close to door entrances
or do something phylically easier for me in return making it harder for another human. Just for selfish reasons of course. They say you never do something
for one because you expect something in return even if its just a thank you.
why do we hold a door open for a stranger? Because we wanted too. Not for a thank you. I will say this time I want return.
I must be God fearing. Ok now I figured that out.
A little advice if you would be so kind on Chain of command
I'm just showing up to marshal on a retainer (stand by)
Relatively new to Wildland fire work although I've been up to date certified to the highest standard for 5 years. I mainly had other work and only jumped in late last summer but Pony shot his mouth off at a gov
big shot on the second day and
almost had all 5 of us sent home.
You see noone was alowed to drive trucks to the cook house,no exemptions (dust control)I brought my side-by-side and drove slow but budy got mad and told me to park it and I did without argument but I wasn't happy.
The guys asked what that was all about and I retorted. ."He's just mad because he doesn't have one" but I didn't realize he was on the other side of his truck..lol
My crew boss had to kiss his azz..ha ha
I guess in laymens terms. ..just shut my mouth and go to work?
Its hard to adapt with a background of Coastal production Falling/Felling which is the most dangerous job in North America,We don't listen to anyone that sits in a truck,We can shut all operations down
as there is no machine or untrained human that can do our Job.we have our own helicopters and Crummies and nobody will go in a faller fridge and touch a beer.I suppose its just an unwritten chain of comand .Other activities in Industry we seem expendable
like gas 'n' oil and wildlandfire where the respect status is deminished.
Peace
