Congratulations, how come when is a promotion, new hire, someone retiring it’s always a big deal in the police department, & fire department, . All of the other departments don’t get any recognition at all. Talk about being lower than whale poop.
The kid in the middle has lots of stripes on his sleeve….he looks like he’s 19 years old..?
Excuse me, thumbs down that’s the truth. I don’t know who’s putting thumbs down obviously, you’re another town working. That’s how it’s been for a long time.
