My buddy, Rick, graduated today from the Los Angeles Fire Department recruit training facility. He's a full-fledged firefighter now, but will bounce around to a few different fire houses for the next year while he's on probation with LAFD.
Congratulations and we're proud that your hard work paid off, Rick.
