Today's Featured Biography
Kent Parker
Subject: Kent Parker Says Good-bye
Tried to send this via my e-mail and was informed my account had been “disabled”! Wow they don’t waste any time eliminating you from the system! With that said……….
Would like to thank all of those whom I have worked for and with for the past 29+ years. This was a life experience like no other. When I started in 1984 we had 15 firehouses and 6 of those were double companies (engine AND a ladder for you kids). To say things have changed would be an understatement, but Dayton only reflects the changes of the fire department throughout the country. Make no mistake about it no matter what apparatus or crews I worked with at the fire or EMS scene I ALWAYS felt confident in those who surrounded me. A very proud and professional organization. Enjoyed the many years at Company 11 and winding down at Company 12. Working with Buschur and Talley at 11’s and the team of Smith, Jones, Talley, and Herzer at 12’s resulted in more stories and experiences that I can share at this time. Couldn’t have requested better co-workers.
Final words of wisdom from the old guy: If you have decided to make the fire service your career then hit the books. Get promoted, make the money, and get the most out of this job as you can. This is coming from a guy that hit the books once, made the list once, and then decided to work his day off for 29+ years. We only report for duty every third day so maximize that opportunity and enjoy your time off.
Finally I read on a calendar the following: “People who live beyond their means should act their wage”. This is not an apocalyptic statement nor a political one, but I highly suggest especially to my younger brothers and sisters on the job to live within your means. We will continue to negotiate for wages and benefits with no guarantees and as you can already witness our pension system will continue to evolve and change. Get your financial house in order and keep it as such and you will have little stress at least involving your finances.
Enough said. Thanks again to all of you. Be safe. Take care. God Bless!
Kentster
Hopefully this e-mail was approved by Chief Bowers along with the attachment I included of people I really didn’t enjoy working with the last 29+ years.
