It's kinda left a bit of a bad taste about the fire service I'm afraid Gavo. Although I'm still a Volunteer after much persuasion by the Local Volunteers.
The Area Admin found my National Medal and Service Medal locked in the managers safe, she told the Volunteer Captain of the brigade I joined, he went in and demanded my medals and was told no, the manager believed I didn't deserve them. After some threats about writing to the GG as to why theses medals hadn't been awarded and why they've been locked in a safe for 2 years, the manager reluctantly released them on the proviso that they weren't awarded at any function and that I wasn't to ever wear them. Yep, sure.
The brigade presented them to me at the Christmas doo earlier this month with a standing ovation from the vollies. Very, very humbling and wasn't able to hold my tears back.
So, yep, kinda done with fire services, so no red ST
I'll stick with my blue baby
Hi Marcus
I was a Career Fire Officer, I was stood Down on the 18th of September 2012, and dismissed on the 17th of April 2013.
I had a horrible boss who used the Newman Government Staff Reductions to get rid of me after I had lodged a bullying complaint against him.
The new job is right in line with what I was doing as the training manager/coordinator in as far as and (looks Like) I'll be the RTO compliance manager for this company, with the first task of getting the companies training material ready for audit in July 2014. After that it again looks like I'll continue as the RTO compliance manager, assist and/or deliver on some Specialist training as well as developing leads for the company in new mining ventures and bidding on contracts for existing mines.
The company specialises in Security, drug an alcohol testing and fire and rescue training.
Great to read mate. I'm sure I've asked before, but what do you do?
