@elonmusk, thanks for the donation to my daughter's @afspnational fundraiser walk. I think DOGE might have a little more than $50 to chip in. Here's the link if you want to help more. https://t.co/OimGXtMsLX 👍😊

I don't post as often as I should(I'll work on it 😂)-but I do post good news immediately. Today was my first day as Deputy Chief of the Radford Armory Fire Dept. I'm very humbled & grateful for this awesome opportunity. I'm excited to start this new chapter. Time to get to work.

This is the best job on earth...but it definitely doesn't hurt to have such a nice "office" to go to. 😁 Riding the seat of this beautiful monster for 24 hours. Happy Saturday!

[Giles Hoback III, MEDM @PublicSafetyEDU]

Some people drive to their office & work all day, I get to drive my office around. Made a quick stop between calls & background made for a good picture. Now we have snow blowing...nothing like March in VA. 😆 Been a busy Sunday so far, but always the best job on Earth!

[Giles Hoback III, MEDM @PublicSafetyEDU]

Working back to back 24's is not too bad when you can ride backwards with weather like this. Happy Friday everyone!

Christmas came a little early for me. Had a brand new set of gear waiting on me. As soon as I saw it, I was reminded of the quote: "The name on the back is who you work for, and the name on the bottom is who raised you. Do them both justice." Happy Sunday! 👍🔥🚒🚒🇺🇲🚑

It's not official until it gets posted on SM. 😁 I accepted a full-time position & am now working on C-shift for the City of Lexington Fire Department. I'm excited to see where things go from here, as this new chapter of my life begins. https://t.co/52nXn6AQET👍🔥🚒🚑🛻🇺🇸👨‍🚒😄

Couldnt tag @mcps_va in FB post so link below is for you & @FBEFrogs. Tried to take care of the issue directly but nothing happened so maybe public #discussion is in order. We need to deal with this!

@Walmart please explain why the store can be open but tire & lube has to be closed? Vehicle maintenance is mandatory & not something that can wait months. We're not allowed in the bay so social distancing is not even a concern for techs. The policy needs to be reconsidered.

[Giles Hoback III, MEDM @PublicSafetyEDU]

I have been very appreciative of my badge family. They have shown my blood family love & kindness. He loved public safety and wanted to serve in the fire service like me after going to @LibertyU & serving @USCG. So many dreams lost but he is in heaven now.
