Wife +kids are as happy as anything.I hate not being a fireman and want to go back.
Any firefighters coming over should really consider if they really want to give up the service.For me it is a big step i dont feel I'm yet ready to make.
Dont know what to do.

At the moment he has no interest in pursuing it here, but who knows how he will feel in a year or so's time but then he can try out to join the volunteer boys and if he doesn't get in there at least he knows he has done "his bit" for 20 years.
Good luck to you.
