Reporting From Off Scene
Hello. (I thought that was a good way to start.) My name is Dean (and I am being honest) but most people call me LadderJockey, a name bestowed upon me by a selected few.
I am a career Firefighter/EMT and one of the areas that I specialize in is aerial operations (stabilizing and the operations of aerial equipment/apparatus for a variety of applications, including high angel rescue, master stream applications, etc.). I have just completed my certification for Hazardous Materials Technician.
I love ladders. Short or high. I have climbed to a ten story window carrying tools, stood on the ladder & busted out windows to carry a person down to safety WITH a guinea pig in my pocket. I have climbed to roofs & spent time up there working on ventilation. I have stood on a ladder & popped the attic vents out. I have no fear of climbing or of heights. In fact, the higher I go, the bigger the rush I feel. The only problem is, I have to be the one to set the ladder/apparatus myself & make absolutely sure it isn't going anywhere before I take the first step. I trust very few people. If I can't set the ladder myself, my feet do not leave the ground.
So, hence the name, LadderJockey.
I spend most of my downtime indivorce court with my two girls, friends/crew and with my
mom because I am, and proud to admit it, I am a momma's boy. I love
hiking, snowmobiling, billiards, paintball, fine dining and bonfires
with friends. My biggest pet peeve and something that I absolutely
despise is 'your momma...' jokes - so do not go there. I will flip and fucken freak out!
Other than what I have written (and I am not much of a writer) I have nothing more to put in this post and am only making one so that I can have one out there. Already I have gotten a few lines typed out.
This makes another line.
So yeah, I guess I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish. I have officially ntroduced myself.
