Request: If you're Military, Police, Firefighter etc., please post pics here!!!!

A lot of military guys ( thanks for what you do) but gotta rep the firemen! Posting soon
 
nods in thanks to AmenRa and Firefighter Scott



I'm just here at home wrestling with the laundry...undies that are twisted with the crying towels...lol... I catch myself cussing at such small matters: the trash that missed the garbage can because I have lousy aim... the dog getting her face in the food bowl before I finish depositing her food chunks, thereby scattering the niblets widely across the kitchen... the hubby singing nonsensical lyrics like a demented dwarf while I'm trying to focus on my email messages...

But when I sit down to focus on videos like the one link posted above, where humanity is united in the main purpose of life, I find myself in a different world, completely absorbed as though angels are teaching profound lessons to me in a light so rare. I can't translate their heart nor mine into words any more than I can hang the world in a teardrop. To say I regard those who aid, protect, serve---and the ones whom they help---as "SACRED" seems a weak term. It's a love that should be expressed with every heartbeat.:heart: Know that mine is with you all.

Feedback and PMs are appreciated ;)

okay... take this to all:

Is there a personal reason for choosing to be a militant/firefighter/police, etc?

And I'll be surprised if any firefighter comes forward with an answer of "Because I am a pyromaniac."

Because someone has to be the thin, blue line.

See, there are three kinds of people in this world: sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves.

Most are sheep. They go blindly about their lives, never caring or knowing they can be, and often are, victims. They are preyed upon by the wolves. The wolves, who seek to take from them their property, their family, and sometimes, their very lives.

Then there's the sheepdogs. We stand ready to do violence to the wolf who would prey upon those under our protection. We do this without pretext; we are simply following the path of our knowledge, our chosen profession, which we feel exemplifies what we are: Protectors. Peacemakers.

I chose to do this job because it is what I am.

Hmmm. Only 3 kinds of people? If these are the definitions, i am not a dumb sheep. I am not a predator. I am not quite prepped to do violence against anyone, unless in self defense. But the bosses I've worked under usually label me a rebel...lol. well, they might think me a sheepdog who likes to herd things up chase just to stir up excitement.

Or maybe I'm a switch sheepdog, bred with wolf blood? :eek:

Either way, i don't think I'm a sheep.


thanks for your answer. AmenRA.

And firefighter Scott, I hope someone is likewise there to help you in your times of need, even as you help others.

The label of sheep isn't meant to be insulting. It is simply a way of explaining that most people go about their lives oblivious to the fact there is crime around them. These are the same people who hold no regard for the police until they need them. Like sheep, they have no care in the world except for their own lives.
 
Running around the herds...

Okay, we know what the uniforms look like... what's on the underwear right now???

sheep?? Wily Coyote? pit bulls?
Fire balls? eagles?

"protect and serve" on the waistbands?


Me? i have on AC DC boxers with a big cannon. "We salute you."

Hubby won't wear them, so I do, just to sleep in.


Bark bark bark...this thread needs to MOVE MOVE MOVE:heart:

I became a Soldier for two reasons
1- it is a family tradition that dates back to King Edward the first
2- regardless of the tradition it was something I always wanted to do

Been a digger now for just over 25 years
