Today was graduation day for the Fire Explorers that completed the training. I dropped him off last Sunday afternoon. The first order of business was following the instructions from Marine Drill Instructors (DI). It is a kind of team building ritual. Does the squad move the way the DI wants? it should. Do the DI’s yell? Of course they do.
The Explorers did 50 hours of training this past week. The certifications Eric completed are Fire Control 3B – Structural Fire Fighting and Fire Control 4A and 4B – Flammable Gases and Liquids Fire Fighting. The are more certificates that will arrive in the mail so I will update the list. As for graduation, Eric can be seen walking across the stage.
