Well I just got done watching the Acadamey on the Fox Reality Channel. I Thought that the show was pretty good. The show started out tonight on the first few days of the Acadamey. The class started out at a size of 38 recruits and thus far nobody has left the acadamey. Tonight they were given some skills drills and alot of them were failing. I really like this show. Im going to be setting the DVR every saturday that this show is on. Its to be a series show. Let me know what you thought of this show or just a little bit about your own acadmey. I have put a little bit up about my fire acadmy below. I am a UNITED STATES ARMY FIREFIGHTER.
