I got my new job as a contract firefighter ! Thank you lapband ! The job is a contract firefighting job in Iraq for a year.

I have mentioned it a few times but got the official phone call today saying my plane ticket will be in by Friday. I leave for Houston on January 7th and then the Middle East a week later. I am so stoked about this.

I actually had this job 2 years ago but was kicked back because I was to fat :nervous so thanks to the lapband I am now healthy and eligible for the position. I am feeling like a kid in a candy store right now ! I am obviously nervous but just excited as hell.

Just wanted to tell everyone on here THANK YOU because this site has been great for support and even through ups and downs with some of you on crazy things I still appreciate everyone the same. We are all like some dysfunctional family on crack lol

I don't know how much I will be around once I ship out so just wanted to say never give up and keep on moving because your dreams are there for the taking.

Thanks again everyone ! :clap2:

oh sure leave me here by myself to fight the moonbattery. good luck and be safe though

Oh, goody, now I finally know what I am. I am a moonatick! :heh: A moonatick from Soviet Canuckistan.... ....possibly the worst kind, eh. :faint:

Congrats and stay safe. I will keep you in my thoughts.
