My uniform- pretty snazy, no?

My uniform- pretty snazy, no?

Question:

You’ve been seen parading around town in a uniform with black boots, have you finally gone off the deep end and formed your own militant cult?

Answer:

Well, we all know that your momma wears combat boots, but, as it turns out, so do I.

I’ve enrolled in a fire protection class at Portland Community College to see if being a firefighter would be a good fit for me. As part of that program, we all have to wear a uniform and black boots. I can’t say for sure if this is the career for me, but it is exciting to be able to bang things with a mallet, drag a metal sled behind me, learn emergency medicine, and interview career firefighters.

If this doesn’t work, I will still have my combat boots, so I will take your militaristic cult idea under advisement.
