Hi guys and gals!

Well, as you probably know by now, July kicks off our mandatory attendance IST and it's been an interesting challenge to organize, prioritize, and stabilize the whole thing.
Training will continue to play an increasingly important role in your career, as we strive to make inservice not only interesting but enjoyable as well. The training committee will meet soon to discuss new strategies and in which direction we should go.


What lives without a body, speaks without a tongue;
Everyone can hear it, yet no one can see it?
(Answer somewhere on page 5)

Some current ideas we are kicking around are
1) water rescue,
2) small MCI drill, and
3) various inservice sites.
That's it for now, but before I go - congratulations on the newsletter!
David Exum
PS. Have any interesting ideas for training? me a note in my box. Thanks!
