305. That is good to know

Problem is I am not lying. Unless you are one of a very small group of people you are. An if you are, mission commander or mission specialist? Yes, it matters.

Here is a hint, I reported recently on our last wild fire, I was there like fr real. I also was a paramedic with the Mexican Red Cross and in disaster planning and response. I did that for ten years...so you could say I have a smidgen of a clue of what emergency response looks in general, and in this case disaster response.

So try that on again...been there, done that.

So should I call you mission specialist or mission commander?
