My Last Night Shift as WM

[Carl]

Those of you who follow me on either Twitter or Facebook will have already seen that last night was my last night on Green Watch and also my last night as a Watch Manager on a pump.

As from Monday I will pick up a Station Manager role in our Operational Assurance Team and respond to incidents in my car. 

Its been a good 20+ years for me on a pump and I am sure to miss it, along with the watch culture I have enjoyed for years. However, all good things come to an end and the start of a fresh new adventure is what I need. 

Here is to my final 5 years

Congrats Carl! ?

[CaptainFlack]

Congratulations- Does that mean you're now works police? ?

[Matt]

Congratulations mate.

[SteelCity]

Congratulations Carl. 

[HoldFast]

Congratulations Carl good for you. Hope you enjoy the new role mate

[Messyshaw]

Many congratulation Carl. You more than deserve it mate.

Nights at home, then (like Steve) swanning around jobs trying to look busy and not mess anything up by making any decisions.

Then you engage in pushing your chest out and pointing purposefully  when the press arrive. Then home in time for medals and a cup of tea! ?

Seriously mate,  I am really pleased for you and wish you all the best with this new challenge 

 

 

[Gav]

Wishing you all the best in your new role. 

[Becile]

Good luck Carl, from yr ops assurance (southern) division.

[Luminoki]

Good luck with your next adventure Carl

[Keith]

All the best with the new post Carl.

Thanks for all the messages of support. Its a very big change for me having spent 23 years riding a pump, from Firefighter to Watch Manager.

To those just starting out, you have absolutely no idea just how much you are going to enjoy life on a watch, its golden. I am going to miss it, but as I creep into the last 5 years of my career, I have endless memories of watch life and the incidents that go with it. Those that know me, also know I have my fair share of memorable incidents, some good and some not so good. 

However, as I move on, and as @Steve has alluded to, I will now be attending all the major incidents that GMFRS throws at me, not just my station area, so a new excitement lies around the corner.

Good luck Carl, be an interesting change in perspective working brigade-wide. Looking forward to hearing about it

[Becile]

You'll love it mate, onwards and upwards.

[GameOn]

Best of luck in your new role @Carl. Will it have any impact on the time you give to the site?

[Carl]

No, the site runs quite smoothly and with the additional moderators, issues are usually resolved quickly

[Dyson]

Well done mate, i reckon you'll be a quality officer X

[Firestorm]

I don't know, these new blokes and their rapid promotion! ?

Nice one Carlos, thoroughly deserved mate.
