Unbelievable level of service to community and country thank you. Great to see you hitting weights and prayers up for your continued recovery.

Great video Layne from London Uk..I've been applying for years to get me into the fire service which at times has got me down but my friends already in the job always say just keep going if its what you believe in

Black Volly here from Lehigh County, PA..looking forward to more videos, Capt, thank you for the insight, can’t wait to learn more.

[@LayneJackson_]

Thank you for checking out the channel. I have one video dropping tomorrow and editing another one now.

[@MarkWilliams-l5d]

Glad to see you’re back and kudos to you for letting people know that just because you’re on KZbin that doesn’t mean that everything is roses. Congrats on the move and the promotion. Sometimes we gotta step outside that comfort zone in order to grow as a person and a leader and you did just that.

[@LayneJackson_]

Thank you for watching the video and thank you for the kids words. You’re absolutely right, you have to step out of your comfort zones to grow

[@lifeofdeeb9632]

Great vid, glad to see you back and doing well.. But being an OG Subscriber, have you purchased any new sneakers or are you passed that phase. I’ve had the massive sneaker room myself but sold them all and got a closet full now lol. That room is now my daughters.

[@LayneJackson_]

Thanks you for watching the video. Yes I picked up a few kicks but I downsized a lot. I buy show for comfort and style now.

[@Jordanthealmighty]

I’m a civilian firefighter and I’m considering taking a contracting position overseas for the pay do you have any experience in that arena or have you worked with any contract firefighters

[@LayneJackson_]

Great question, I'll answer this in my next video.

[@bondservantministriesinc.672]

I retired from LA County, I never understood why you have to walk around the station with your radio! Can you please explain this? Thanks

[@LayneJackson_]

We are currently dealing with our station dispatching system going in and out, so normally the Captains have their radios on them just in case our station system fails.

[@jont6556]

What was the promotional process to becoming a captain

[@LayneJackson_]

That’s a really good question, I will answer this question in my next video
