"Merit Matters"

[hudson144 150]

Take a look and sign the petition to fight to keep standards in FDNY. Merit Matters.com is a sight set up by Deputy Chief Paul Mannix of the FDNY to make all aware how the NY City gov't should fight a recent ruling by a judge to hire those who simply did not make the grade! Why do some feel that lowering standards in the FD think its ok? Are standards lowered to be a lawyer,Doctor,pilot? Please visit the sight and support the fight!

hudson144, thank you for bringing this up again!! Dept. Chief Mannix is a true fireman's fireman and a gentleman to the core. He's leading this charge and at some personal sacrifice. (HQ is not a fan of publicly outspoken upper management)

Please signe up here:

This concept goes so far beyond the fire service....... Our Nation has turned from one where hard work, honor, and integrity have been replaced by an attitude of entitlement.

If I hear one more lazy slacker or kid who's done nothing with their life begin a sentence with the words "I deserve....." I think I'm going to blow my top.
