Hi Robert and Tom,

I too went through the train the trainer course and did all of the exercises 
including the fire extinguisher.  I also served as a team leader on the last 
day when we had to enter a fake building wreckage site and deal with 
injuries and classify the wounded, etc.  It was fun.

I too urge you to give it a try.  Good luck and very 73.

Kevin :)
