Michael's Graduation

Hello everyone,
Here's some pictures of Michael's graduation from fire fighting boot camp Monday May 10.
He got a promotion from Recruit to Probationary fire fighter. His first shifts were last Thurs & Fri. Being a newby the guys played a few practical jokes on him, started him on fire and poured water on him and various other things you can ask him about. As a family we are very proud of Michael. He showed determination and was very focused at accomplishing his goals as a fireman. Having watched him go thru the process we know how difficult it is to get into firefighting. It was very dark in the facility so the pictures are darker than we would have liked.
However, all the recruits would be receiving professional pictures taken that night.





This was prior to getting his hat and diploma as a recruit.



There were two classes at this training camp. Michael was one of sixteen of class 125.

There were two big screens and this is Michael on one of them.

After the ceremonies we were able to mingle with the grads. These are a few taken in his new
uniform. Looks sharp eh!

Love you all
