Thanks for the recommendations!

Hi all, just finished my BMQ-L and I had an incident where a CLP bottle exploded in my bag during the FTX. I've washed the bag out and scrubbed the exterior with laundry soap and a brush but the surface of my bag seems to be very stiff still and there is a noticable dark patch where the oil...

Thank you for the quick responses!

Hi all, I was wondering if there was a link on the LFWA site for tentative summer course dates.  Everything from my chain of command still seems to be rumors of dates, but I was wondering if there is somewhere that this information is posted straight from the LFWA training center? I was...
