Today was family day for my older son's academy, they ran through a number of scenarios for all of us, very cool stuff. Graduation is next Friday, in the past 13 weeks they've passed 4 state certifications. Great instructors and a great group of trainees. At the end of demonstrations today they burned their trainee shirts and received their department shirts (4 different departments were in the academy). My son is the one on the far left, he'll be a fire/paramedic (already a paramedic, flight medic E6 and paramedic instructor).
