Well after starting Retained Service some 33 years ago, and progressing to Permanent Service 26 years ago . . . it looks like my Operational Days have come to an end . . . having been side lined with Prostate Cancer and blood clotting.
So now side steeped and working in the logistics' Support side the Brigade with NDH - Natural Disaster & Humanitarian Section or what most would know as FRNSW USAR Logistic Support or in my case - Natural Disability & Handicaps . . . hehehe
With only 3 Permanent FFs in the NDH Section . . . the section has been very very busy the past month . . . being run off their feet setting up Base Camps across the state with the flood response . . . and with no real end in site . . . it's looking at being a long December too.
Apart from the Flood Response, NSW Comes back On-line taking over from Qld for International USAR Response as of 1st January 2023 . . . so Our International USAR Cache needs to be rotated and re-certified by 1st January 2023 . . . so busy time to start a career change.
