Greetings & Salutations,

My name is John Paul Goede. I am a retired United States Air Force Firefighter. I participate in a bi-weekly radio show that has a growing listening audience from many nations and many continents. The radio program is a spin-off of the worlds #1 largest conspiracy related website, but mixes a diverse style of music with a humorous and entertaining panel of laymen as well as professional specialists from various fields of study. I am not advertising the radio show, and outside of being a listener and fan of the show do not represent them or their affiliations. I am only efforting to get someone from Antarctica to provide a hit on their websites’ global indicator as a prank for a member of their panel, a retired marine, police detective, and businessman from South Carolina named Garth (aka Semperfortis). He is also a highly respected forum moderator. The website for this radio show is here: http://www.illustrial.net/site/

I know this may sound unorthodox, and am sure you have obligations and responsibilities that keep you busy. I am only wanting a second of your time on at least one Saturday during broadcasting, and am not pandering on their behalf for new listeners. I sincerely feel this would boost some moral for the people who are efforting to make a social difference through this show.

Thank you for what you do, and the difference your research and logistical support makes in the world. Please bundle up and stay warm, and take care of eachother down there.

Thank you for your time,

Sergeant John P. Goede, USAF Firedog (retired)

Hey Howie, Greta input. My nephew, Scott Beu, arrived on the 6th for firefighting duties. I am a retired US military Veteran, specializing in military secirity. My son is on his second tour of Iraq, and now my nephew is down south. Family is kinda spread. Hey, any security jobs down there? Funny, I’m too old. Anyway, thanks for the vision you described so I can now have a fixture of what he is going to be doing. Agagian, Thanks. Norman Poppell

How does EMS work there? Do they have a paramedic on call all the time?

Howie, interesting article on the fire station there.I was wondering is it possible to get a duty-shirt from the station there.If yes how much would it cost a person.I am not a firefighter,but by nephew was for 10 months before he died on the line of duty back in 2002.

Very cool! I was a lieutenant with the Antarctic Fire Department for several seasons. My first season was 2000-2001, then 2001-2002 and finally Winfly/summer/winter of 2003-2004. I now work for the Columbia Fire Department in Columbia, MO. It was a great experience and I hope to go back some day.
