I am just making my opinion heard, I will "verbaly bash" whoever I need to if it is in relation to any possible saftey hazards!! Can you honestly tell me that you would be happy having a firefighter on your truck who has had just one days training?? Im sorry, but I am not a big fan of baby sitting!!
I am sure there would be much better options, like not telling fireys NO when they ask to be put on an Appliance for a strike team?? how avbout training the MFS guys to fight bushfires, and then current cfs guys who can't spare a couple of days could then mnaby do shifts around the MFS station??
just MY OPINION

I was always led to believe the internet is a form of media. This, being in the
very public eye, could be considered a very active form of media. - You may want to go over a few policies/rules, particularly Section 22 (The old Red21)- in regards to what you say in the public arena. (High and low ranking members of all services read this, I can bet your bottom dollar Ministers & Chiefs Aids read this stuff, along with Commanders, Regional/District Officers, and everyone else).. - They may be "YOUR" views, however, you could land yourself in some rather hot water..
- I'm only letting you know as a friendly reminder.. - There are people on this forum who have stated they have gone through this in the past.. - Remember, whether you like what is going on or not, you are meant to be supportive of the service you represent. There are ways of putting forward what could be considered as rather disgruntled views, however publically bashing the Chief, and other services, is not the way to go about it. - And im not saying you may not have cause, im just saying I don't believe you are going about it the right way.
Tactful means are the way to go. . . -And remember, we are all here to do one job.. Save Lives.
