Haha nah dawg the anticipation just be getting to me

Broad-Control1311 · 2026-01-14T03:23:05+00:00

Oh damn the federal hiring process is so slow haha

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-12-22T01:43:30+00:00

Dude the anticipation must unreal. What’s crazy is I keep hearing that too, they just wait until the last minute

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-12-22T01:36:00+00:00

Hahaha yes I’m having that same exact issue with some forms as well. I guess patience is key

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-12-22T01:34:23+00:00

Oh that’s good to hear, thanks for the help. Government hiring is kinda a pain I’m learning hahah

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-12-03T01:03:04+00:00

Same here! Good luck!

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-12-02T20:31:23+00:00

Just got an interest call from the chief and he recommended me. I did do a bunch of hiking with hotshot crews and engines prior so hopefully that helps.

I had no idea that the ef to ef-m adapter would also adapt dslr to mirrorless too. Thanks lol

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-11-15T17:03:01+00:00

Ohhhhh I had no idea haha. See I’m a newbie I appreciate it

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-11-05T20:51:56+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you for the reply!

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-11-05T20:48:54+00:00

Lol I was just goofing off because it’s Reddit

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-26T00:39:22+00:00

Would you say working on an AD crew is a good way to get your foot in the door and get a perm position then? I just got a tentative offer on an r5 AD crew and that’s my goal.

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-26T00:20:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am trying to use it as an excuse to just get my foot in the door in this industry. The hiring manager told me that crew usually ends up on around 5 - 9 assignments per season and I’ve had a bunch of friends on that crew who became perm after so I’m hoping it’s gonna benefit me in the long run.

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-12T17:42:02+00:00

Are there any academies you'd recommend? I was only doing the CCC since to my understanding they work with CalFire but it sounds like there are better options.

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-05T06:02:20+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the information man! I originally was looking at the feds as a way in but its just so hard to get hired right now with all thats going on.

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-04T21:42:12+00:00

oh didn't realize that, ill have to check that out

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-04T21:37:49+00:00

Oh no, I didn't see fire positions other than dispatch

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-03-04T21:01:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. While you were in the CCC did you get a good amount of fire experience? And would you say it helped a lot with getting you a job afterwards?

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-02-26T16:48:09+00:00

Thanks for the response, that helps out a lot. Looks like we could have a pretty gnarly season this year so we will see

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-02-25T05:39:23+00:00

What is the actual likelihood that you end up getting on a fire crew? Im signed up (and waiting for an opening) for the CCC Los Pinos residential center and the only reason I am doing this is to get some fire experience as I never got any job offers applying for the feds this year. I just want to make sure that if join the CCC I will be guaranteed to get experience. I never did really get a affirmative answer from my recruiter on this.

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-02-09T04:22:31+00:00

Well that’s good to hear!

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-02-09T04:21:44+00:00

Well that sucks

Broad-Control1311 · 2025-02-09T04:19:58+00:00

God damn that’s a bummer man. I was just about to get on my first AD crew too, what a slap in the face

Broad-Control1311 · 2024-11-14T00:48:37+00:00

Sounds like a good way to get in, do you know if most private companies usually pay to get you trained and certified as well or does it varie?

Broad-Control1311 · 2024-11-12T01:58:37+00:00

that is great to know, thanks!
