Today we had our first big sim. I was a rescuer. I felt like I completely botched the whole thing though. Originally I was given control of the radio, but was a “secondary” rescuer. Val was kind of designated as IC, but not really. Somewhere in the middle of the hour long rescue, I switched from being a secondary to the IC, but not really. More clearly defined roles in the beginning would have helped. Tomorrow we do another sim, and maybe I will be a rescuer again. Hopefully I will do a better job. Some day it might be real.

Garrett you need to look into Civil Engineering. I read your bio and man, you would be great. Have you considered this career? You could combine your model bridge building talents and really go far. Plus you could inspire more kids to get into engineering (I am assuming you are Canadian) which we really need here in the U.S.
Good luck on the rescue stuff. Sounds exciting. The training is where you learn/make mistakes so when the real thing happens you are good to go.
