Green Stripe Removal

Tonight at the training we had a green stripe removal ceremony. All the guys who just finished their training got to remove their green stripes. Then they shook the Crew Leaders’ hands and those of the Capt and Lt who were on duty. They are no able to go into burning buildings and do everything as they have completed their training.

One of the guys left his helmet at the station. I found it so I put a green stripe back on it and took it down to station two for him. I handed it to him with the green stripe facing him. When he saw it he got a big smile.
