Are You Serious? Go Hump A Frog

Today is the first day of the rest of old Buck's fire career. Just returning from a breakfast meeting of all the Captains who know what's going on (it was a table for two) Old Buck is convinced we have a bunch of dipshits in charge.

"No Load Larry" should be a cable guy but instead he is a "Bo-talon Shief". Now Larry is what in technical terms could be called a "dumbass" but instead we call him chief because he "have been gifted with the po-sition. He is well liked by the pukes in charge (Our fearless leaders).

We had a fire with Larry and when he gets there he's screaming for a line. Well, the line was inside the house putting the fire out. I was part of the RIT team (Rapid Intervention Team or Come get me, it's hot as a motherfuc*er). In this position Old Buck was able to watch Larry jump from foot to foot, looking around for help with his "command decisions".

As the men on the ladder started venting Larry yelled "vent it" and as another company did a search he yelled "search it." I was waiting on Larry to tell me to go "RIT It" but he can't give orders until the action is already taking place.

Hell Old Buck coulda put the damn fire out but watching Larry dance around was a lot of pleasure. Larry is so bad they are gonna have to promote him.

That's what they usually do.
