Congratulations to all of them. Stay Safe!
Thank you all...
...for dedicating your lives to protecting and serving the good people of Southeast Alaska. Congratulations on passing all of the tests, I hear they are among the hardest qualifications to obtain employment. We are lucky to have 18 souls that are able bodied and minded to make the cut. To any that did not pass, I also thank you for putting yourself out there to serve S.E.; it takes a strong individual to even attempt to take these tests; good things will come your way. Thank you all.
