Are you at your forever department?

EDIT: I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone! Pretty cool to hear all the different responses! Stay safe brothers/sisters and wish everyone the best of luck throughout your careers!

Title says it all. Curious how many members have found their forever depts and why you made it your home for the rest of your career. The culture at my department is simply amazing. The chiefs know every member by first name and your put into a leadership role pretty early on if you’ve earned the trust of the officers. They will send you to virtually any training, deploy you across the nation, etc. Let’s hear what you have.

I probably work for my forever department. The first hometown I had was here. I grew up an army brat and never stayed anywhere very long. But we stuck here, and I met amazing people in the community. I got lots of support from people who never knew me and I want to give back. It’s far from a perfect department, but man do we have some awesome guys. Promoted to captain here. Bought a house here. Love living here and when we have kids it’ll be easy enough to make some functions I wouldn’t be able to go to in other departments.

Man that’s all you can ask for. So cool that you settled there and got the support from people whom you’ve never met, that says enough. Congrats on everything, well done Cap. Nothing is perfect, but as long as you and mama are happy, you’re getting the support to continue doing you and build your family…that is heaven my friend.
