So
today,
if
you
have
a
family
member,
a
friend
or
a
favorite
recruit,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
express
your
pride
in
them
by
clapping
and
cheering
when
you
see
them
either
in
the
video
or
when
they
receive
their
diploma
or
an
award.
Look,
you
can
even
boo
and
jeer
them.
If
you
want
just
keep
it,
just
keep
it
clean.
We
don't
want
to
have
to
escort
you
out
now.
Look.
We
traditionally
do
a
very
bad
job
of
this,
so
we
got
to
practice.
Okay,
everybody
ready,
wait,
wait
for
it!
Oh

So

Welcome

G
G
G
G
G
Remember
that
at
the
foundation,
that's
what
we
do.
We
are
servants
of
the
public
servants

each
and

one
of
you

a
unique

leverage
it
use
it,
make
your

put
your
stamp

acfd
and
make
it
a
better
place
than

yesterday
now
june,
23
2006.
G
I
never
forget
my
first
day
I
started
off
at
the
old
station
three.
I
walk
in
with
all
my
stuff
nervous
and
your
beloved
squad.
One
leader
firefighter
david
zuniga,
says:
hey
rookie,
go
get
your
pack
and
check
it
out.
So
I
say:
if
I
can
do
anything,
I
can
check
that
scba
out.
I
know
what
I'm
doing
I
mean
I
didn't
say
it.
I
thought
it
I
mean
my
inside
voice.
I
wouldn't
say
that
out
loud
at
that
point,
so
I
got
it
went
to
the
fire
truck
with
confidence.
G
G
G
G
G
G
It
doesn't
matter
if
you're
black
white
latinx,
you
belong
here.
If
you're
asian
you're
persian
middle
eastern,
it
doesn't
matter
where
in
the
world
you
originate
from.
You
belong
here
if
you're
straight
lgbtqia
plus
you
belong
here.
You
have
a
place
here
and
you
have
the
inherent
right
to
serve
our
community
in
any
form.
You
wish.
G
G
G
G
H
Thank

and
all
the
members
of
the
fire
department.
You

made
a
noble
choice
to

Good
afternoon
how's
everyone
doing
today,
so
this
is
my
new
favorite
day.
First
day
was
definitely
the
first
day
they
arrived.
They
were
probably
as
nervous
as
you
guys,
putting
the
pen
on
their
their
shirt.
So
it's
good
to
see.
They
came
this
far
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
we're
very
proud
of
them.
You
guys
should
be
as
well
friends
loved
ones.
You
guys
have
done
an
amazing
job
of
supporting
them
throughout
this.
It's
a
very
long
process
and
congratulations.
J
So,
along
the
way
we
actually
have
a
physical
fitness
program
try
to
pt
every
day.
Part
of
that
is
doing
an
evaluation.
We
do
three
evaluations,
one
in
the
beginning,
one
in
the
middle
and
one
at
the
end,
so
we're
just
trying
to
gauge
that
the
recruits
are
prohibition
or
firefighters
and
making
progress
first
award
is
for
the
person
that
was
most
improved.
So
when
this
person
came
in,
he
was
doing
about.
J
18
push-ups
doubled
in
pull-ups
ran
a
16-minute
mile
and
a
half
proud
to
say
that
by
the
end,
not
only
did
they
lose
almost
20
pounds,
push-ups
up
to
93.
J
J
J
I,
like
the
energy-
oh
this
one,
this
one's
special
to
me,
because
I
got
to
see
this
from
start
to
finish
and
what
I
mean
is
she
was
actually,
in
my
interview
panel
to
apply
for
coming
here
to
arlington
county
fire
department.
So
to
have
someone
tell
us,
I'm
going
to
be
working
as
hard
as
ever
and
basically
make
a
promise
and
not
only
keep
that
promise,
but
exceed
anything
that
she
told
us
that
day.
One
is
truly
remarkable.
J
J
J
K
Got
a
little
pop-in
award
here
I
wanted
to.
I
think
it's
very
important
to
share
with
all
of
you
so
recruit
class
79.
Today
we
are
celebrating
your
graduation,
but
today
also
marks
the
end
of
emergency
medical
services
week.
It
is
only
fitting
that
we
recognize
one
of
our
own
for
their
significant
contributions
to
improving
ems
education.
K
While
the
recruits
have
been
at
the
academy
for
a
long
30
weeks,
firefighter
paramedic
claire
sabio
has
been
serving
here
for
nearly
125
weeks.
That's
an
over
two
year
commitment
for
those
of
you
trying
to
do
the
math
she
has
been
serving
as
our
ems,
education,
specialist
and
helping
lead
our
recruit
emt
program.
K
K
K
A
A
I
Good
afternoon,
everybody
first
and
foremost,
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's,
it's
an
extreme
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
be
here
today
recruit
class
79
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
arlington
county
fire
department.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
cadre.
I
That's
been
working
with
us
for
the
past
30
long
weeks
and
I
just
want
to
say,
spend
like
two
minutes
to
tell
y'all
something
that
I
figured
out
when
I
got
here
or
something
that
was
revived
in
me
and
I
like
to
think
of
it
as
e
to
the
third
power
and
those
three
e's
are
the
environment,
the
energy
and
the
enthusiasm.
I
I
But
I
also
believe
that
once
we
become
independent,
free
thinking,
adults,
we
get
to
choose
the
environment
that
we
want
to
become
a
product
of,
and
I
think
we
made
a
great
choice
in
choosing
you
know
the
arlington
county
fire
department
to
adopt
their
environment
and
make
it
our
own
that
next
one
is
energy
right.
I
felt
like
when
we
all
got
here.
I
It
kind
of
gave
us
a
different,
a
a
new,
a
new
life
or
more
energy
than
we
had,
because
we
were
seeking
out
an
environment
and
we
were
in
the
process
of
obtaining
it,
and
I
think
we
can
agree
that
it
took
a
lot
of
energy
to
obtain
it
and
it's
so
it's
so
great
to
be
here
today
with
this
newfound
energy.
And
now
I
feel
like
that.
I
It's
our
responsibility
as
recruit
class
79
to
to
take
this
energy
that
we
have
take
this
environment
that
we
found
and
have
the
enthusiasm
to
go
out
there
into
our
community
or
this
community
and
and
serve
at
the
highest
level.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
and
we,
john
duggan,
we're
going
to
come
up
and
we're
going
to
present
with
our
class
gift
on
behalf
of
recruit
class
79
is
our
class.
I
A
A
Tradition
plays
a
very
important
role
even
to
this
day
from
our
rank
structure,
the
insignias
that
we
wear
the
terminology
that
we
use
dalmatians
the
fact
that
truck
companies
are
the
center
of
the
firefighting
universe.
A
A
A
A
A
A
It
represents
dedication
to
pride,
teamwork
and
respect.
If
disrespected
the
guide
on
was
rolled
and
the
staff
would
determine
what
action
was
needed
to
restore
it.
The
time
has
come
to
retire.
The
guide
on
no
other
class
will
have
that
guide
on.
It
belongs
to
class
79,
and
I
urge
the
members
as
they
embark
upon
their
career,
to
always
remember
what
it
stands.
A
K
K
The
recruit
team
led
by
quinney
pastel,
captain
stanislaus,
deputy
chief
gowan,
did
a
remarkable
job
recruiting.
What
I
truly
feel
is
the
best
recruit
class
to
have
graduated
in
the
acfd
recruits.
Your
dedication
and
teamwork
speak
to
the
quality
of
probationary
firefighter
emts
that
you
have
become
one
of
my
proudest
moments
was
seeing
you
present
your
mission
statement,
which
can
be
found
in
the
program.
K
It
has
been
inspiring
to
see
your
personal
and
professional
growth,
our
ability
to
support
your
development.
As
a
fire,
ems
recruit
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
leadership
and
guidance
from
captain
tubo
bennett,
deputy
chief
wesley
assistant
chief
reshetter
and
our
fire
chief
david
pavlitz.
K
It
is
important
that
we
also
recognize
our
health
and
safety
team
led
by
captain
twos
amanda
reeves,
richard
shoop
and
battalion
chief
chris
devers,
who
helped
ensure
we
had
a
safe
and
healthy
work
environment
here
at
the
academy,
while
our
department's
leadership
has
supported
us
along
the
way.
We
all
know
your
squad,
leaders
and
education
specialists
are
to
thank
for
your
quality
instruction,
their
continued
guidance
and
support.
While
you
were
home
studying
for
the
next
day
or
partying
on
the
weekend,
I
don't
know
whatever
it
was.
K
The
instructors
were
diligently
working
to
prepare
for
future
classes.
Their
lieutenants
were
just
as
busy
ensuring
that
your
needs
were
met
and
you
were
set
up
for
success,
and
I
think
those
of
us
at
the
fda
can
all
agree
that
I
have
left
off
two
integral
members
of
our
staff,
who
must
be
recognized
almost
every
week
we
enjoyed
an
hour
of
yoga
provided
by
claudia,
and
our
personal
and
professional
development
is
in
large
part
in
support
right
due
to
the
support
from
gary
randle.
K
K
K
All
right
before
we
end
does
anyone
have
any
questions:
probationary,
firefighters,
gracie,
yelton,
all
right,
moving
on
inside
joke.
Sorry
folks,
when
I
started
here
21
years
ago,
as
a
probationary,
as
as
probationary
firefighter
emt
weeks
would
remind
us
old
folks
was
before
he
was
born.
K
I
had
no
idea
how
many
amazing
and
challenging
adventures
I
would
experience.
This
is
one
career
where
you
will
impact
individuals
and
society
on
a
daily
basis.
The
public
trusts
us
and
they
rely
on
us
during
their
worst
days,
so
that
hopefully
we
can
effectively
change
the
outcome
of
their
disaster.
K
The
cadre
and
I
look
forward
to
meeting
with
you
to
working
with
you
in
the
field
to
experience
these
adventures
together
and
positively
impact
the
lives
of
the
public
that
we
swore
an
oath
to
serve
and
just
like
any
family.
Our
acfd
family
can
be
a
little
dysfunctional
from
time
to
time,
but
this
is
one
family.
I
am
proud
to
be
a
part
of.
K
Everyone.
Thank
you
again
for
supporting
our
new
probationary
firefighter
emts.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
and
before
you
depart,
I
want
you
to
go,
enjoy
some
cupcakes
and
refreshments
in
the
and
the
the
apparatus
bay
provided
by
tania
and
brandy,
and
that's
about
all
I
have
so
far
class
leader.
What
time
do
you
have.
