we really need the first and last yes LOL!!!

Hello people,
Private 1st class oedius reporting for duty. Ok, I am sorry for my protracted absence. It really was not intentional. Just had way, way too many irons in the fire all at once. I will try harder to get in games whenever I can and to jump on the forum more often. I sure missed all of you guys!

Hey odourous !

Welcome back mate !

Thanks, Farcanal!

Welcome back Oedius! Glad you're still among us!

So I was sitting on the couch and smelt something terrible...
Thought it was one of the three kids...
Turns out it was me... Lol..!!! Laid off till spring I am...
I just havnt showered or shaved in 3 1/2 days...

Much better now after I cleaned up...

D_N Hate to see you go, you will always be a MOM!

Game of epic proportions..2 and a half freaking hours of stale mate. Lots of come and goes, mostly Morafs or high up. Got reduced to 1 hangar early on in the game but we held on and on..finally lost to a backdoor bomber. Thanks all who played.

How do I join?

Fire station of course
Yesterday we had some problems at work. A cab derailed inside one of the ovens.
It takes a long time to cool down the oven and then heat it up again
So to save time (time is money as we all know) the fire department gave us some help (hope they got paid well)
They could go into the oven when it was still 200 degrees C (392 F) and lift the cab in place.
Absolutely incredible they could hold a pan with a pizza and watch while baked in their hands.


Many thanks to these brave men and women around the world who on a daily basis put themselves in danger to save those in need.
it feels good to know that wherever on the globe one finds oneself there will always be these courageous souls willing to sacrifice themselves for us mere mortals

Our man, Lt Coop has done that vey same mission.. He was ok until he actually started eating the pizza while still in the oven... He's very tough, but maybe lacking some other vital skills...

LMAO..Funny you should say that in the fire department there are two kinds of firefighters.
Engine Guys(Fire Engines) These are the schleps that play with hoses and actually put fires out.Engine has water on it.
Then you have us.
Truckies (Ladder Guys)Hence the name fire trucks steer at both ends and bend in the middle(No water only in the PW'S)We men of men are what Engine guys refer to as MONGO big strong guys that are essentualy STUPID more brawn than brains...lol we are the guys who arrive first while the fire is raging out of control and run in looking for folks who could not make it out on there own.Once inside we rescue them or in worst case recover the bodies.Then we let the engine guys play in the water while we cut holes to vent the fire so they dont over heat while they are flowing water on the fire.Then when the fire is out we also still have to stay and pull down cellings and break windows and all the ball busting work.They the engine guys they get to pack hose.
So yes you hit the nail on the head...lol
Thanks for your support,
Lt.coop

Hey coop, we do all that at the department I'm at! Being in FF 1&2 I'm learning how to vent the roof or toss a ladder. I can ever run the pump on our engine. I want to be more of a nozzle man because here we go in to look for the victims. I may be a probie (fire term) but I'm absolutely proud of what I do! Many people asked me hour much I makedoing this. I only make 10.06 an hour per call.. (understand that?) I know its not much because our average fire is about 2 or 3 hours. But I don't do it for the money, I do this because it brings me joy to know I'm helping others or I saved another persons life. I don't know about you coop but when I look back on my life in 20 or 30 years. I know that there's nothing I wouldn't regret or redo if it ment I made a difference.

Well you could start by telling everyone here a bit about yourself, rank age ect things you like doing, stuff that makes you real not just a post, read around in the thread, if you still like it go to page one read and digest the rules, paying particular attention to rule 6 this is the rule upon which M.O.M is founded and built and then use the e-mail link to submit your request for certification as a complete and utter lunatic. I think
Oh, don't forget Paul's little bribe, he's quite partial to a little bribe or two, well actually we all are, so bring lots of little bribes, or just one really really big one!

Very cool brother..Where ya from? And NO YOU DONT WANT TO BE A NOZZELMAN...LOL I started my career as a nozzelman right out of the academy was sent to Engine 4 as a jumper(meaning I wasnt really part of any house just went where I was needed)I played with water for 10 yrs.with Engine 4 thought it was the cats ass until a job opened up on Ladder 1 tillerman I bid on the job and got it.Never looked back there is nothing more rewarding than bringing someone out and returning them to there loved ones.I spent a few years steering the back of that truck and going to every damn roof in the city cutting holes.I then moved over to the seat behind the driver of Ladder 1 Primary search was there until I was promoted last yr to Lt. of Ladder 1 I have come full circle now.In 2006 I was firefighter of the year for the city of Mt.Penn I had managed to work my way into a 3 story row home and bring a 265lb. unconscious male out a second story window to saftey.
I was awarded the Medal of Valor buy the Chief the best part of that story was I was not there to recive it.You see we dont do medals and awards we are not heros, its funny I was at home and I got a phone call from one of my brother firemen and he said congats,I said for what he said you recived the Medal of Valor and firefighter of the yr. I said bullshit then the Chief got on the phone and said ASSHOLE thanks for not being here for your award I just laughed and said thanks Chief BUT ITS MY JOB.To this day I do noy wear it on my uniform.I am proud of you for doing what you do not all men are cut out for this job it takes a special person.There are many highs and as equal if not more lows in the duties of a firefighter,for every life you save there will the ones you cannot.A few years back I was on the fourth floor of an apartment building with my Lt.we had orders to find an elderly lady who was trapped we pushed through the fire and made it to the hallway when we were orderd to get out because the roof was coming down.we could hear her screaming and we did not want to leave because we knew we could get her we did not get her we didnt leave we just didnt make it in time there was no way we were leaving that woman we knew we were going to get suspended but we had to try.thats what its all about.By the way the roof never came down.Just remember what I tell you do it for the love not the glory do it because its your job,NEVER HESITATE AND ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR GUTS. Watch out for your partner.If one goes we all go!!
STAY FROSTY BROTHER AND KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.
Lt.coop

And by big bribe he means BIG cake!

Karma + for both Coop and Black Ace 33.
As I cant give two points, I will give it to Ace, because he have only 10 points... Coop, you need to wait 6 hours...
And I need to save some karma points to spend bribing Skydavis ...

I'm at TFD Trenton Fire Department. Not a big city so we don't have companies like you do. We have 1station. For the city and for Rural. Rural, TFD and Grundy County ambulance are all stationed together but 3 separate places. Lol understand? I'm gonna go for my Haz mat Tec when there's a class for it. I only want to be a nozzle man because I want to fight fire. And being in a small town I can do that plus search and rescue.

Hiya Money, thanks for dropping in, you must be from the North East, so How Yooouuu Dooiinnn?

COOP, you are the definition of a True Hero! One that thinks it his job and does not wear his merits to prove it. Your dedication to your service in helping humanity is a selfless and most times thankless, hence MEDALSSSSSS!!!Wear it proud!

Looks like ACE is following in your footsteps COOP. It is nice to see the younger generation getting involved like that, my hat, feet and hands off to you both!

Hey flew with this guy Moustash a bit in the past days....he asked about becoming mom I directed him to the site ad page one...seems like a good fit and nice guy good player also....told him it take a bit for u old people to get back ...OK mean old devil out....

Oedius, welcome back brother! Good to hear from you. Don't be a stranger!!

I just wanted to make everyone aware that after weeks of studying I finally have rule#6 memorized. Now I can move on to impressing The Star Chamber (look it up) and the other members of M.O.M. Whew, I sure hope this is easier than memorizing rule#6 was...

Have you read ALL pages of M.O.M'S thread?

M.O.M'S own M.O.M (Mark Martin) will be driving the M.O.M car in Sunday's Daytona 500.



Let's wish him well.

NASCAR TRIVIA: Dale Earnhardt won the Daytona 499 more times than any other driver.

Read? No. But I did go through a lot of them and looked at the pictures...

I've been gone for awhile but I'll be back in the skies tonight. Some time around 6ish. If anyone wants to join me. I might change my ingame name to "yo momma said...." or "wigmomster" (kinda has a ring to it)

Going to the thread today, it struck me that this squadron is coming up on it's first year anniversary. My how time flies!

Not sure what form it would take, but I think it would be pretty cool if we did something to celebrate and acknowledge our one year anniversary, and look back at all that we've accomplished. I know that it's a little early still, but just wanted to throw the idea out there to the rest of you old assed degenerates to see how y'all felt about it.

Tank is box. Epoxy & fuel-proofer lined. Bristol Finish Varnish (the best).
To go fast...

DogFight IS a little tricky.
