Most everyone knows that Dryw has been working very hard to get into the fire service for LA County Fire Department. It has been such a crazy process!!! He passed his physical test last summer and we were so excited because that meant we could apply for the departments. We applied to LA County and we heard back pretty quick. He had a scheduled written exam...which he passed...and then he received mail about an oral interview for the County...it was so crazy!! I only say it is crazy because it is a lottery...they basically put names in a hat and draw them out to decide who is going to take part in the interview. (and there is about 15,000 names in that hat) Well it was a grueling process...he studied so hard and had some great help along the way....and we finally recieved news that he passed his oral interview....with a 100%!!!!!! So awesome!!!!! What that means now is that he is basically put into the first bracket for the academy and all we are waiting on now is his background packet so we can fill it out and turn it in and then he will recieve his academy start date. If everything goes well then he should be in the academy by the end of the year beginning of next year. So 6 months after he starts the academy he will be done and he will be a firefighter!!!!!
I was so excited for him when we found out about him passing the oral interview...so I made him a cake!!! It wasnt very pretty...but I put some hard work into it!!!
