Little did I realize this, but apparently, my big brother Aaron is pretty good at this thing. His team just finished an appearance in the world championships and they finished 3rd overall. That’s pretty cool.
I didn’t even know that the Firefighter Challenge was any kind of a real tour in that way. Let’s just say that I learned more about this part of my brothers life in the last 2 hours than I ever knew. From what I understand, this will also air on ESPN sometime in the future. I’ll have to check that out!
This also marks the end of Aaron’s career. He’s been done for a few weeks now, but I was told he was going to compete in this thing and that would be it.
I don’t know if I have an opinion about him getting out of the military right now. It seems to be a thing he is doing for mixed reasons. According to my dad, he is getting out since the military isn’t offering him a bonus. But my mom tells me that he’s getting out because he’s afraid to get sent to Iraq. I’ve got mixed feelings about that both ways. On the one hand I’m not happy about someone getting training for 15 years and then not going to do your job. On the other hand, it’s not my life to lose. I’ve tried to stay out of it since the first part of it got me yelled at just for mentioning it.
