Badges? We don need no stinking badges!

 

Nice goin', Phil. But, do we have to salute when we see you now? Either way, I have one at the ready.

To everyone, I want to say Thank You!!! This family on the board is amazing.

 

I received my badge and official promotion yesterday afternoon in a wonderful ceremony at our department.

Taking my oath of office alongside our new Battalion Chief. He promoted up from Captain and has been THE mentor of choice for me for several years. Great Captain and well deserving of his new role as BC.
