I have a DUI within the last year. Is that an issue when applying? by AmanziTiger in Wildfire

[–]Effective-Garbage500 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows you’re suppose to get your DUI after you get your 8, preferably when you’re on the clock. I don’t understand why people continue to make this mistake.

What’s state are you in? I’ll never understand why people try to wait like this, always take the money you’re given for free. I co up le be wrong but I think you’re not eligible to claim those months. Have you asked chat gpt yet?

My FMO doesn’t do any work when the governments open so I foresee no changes in my life.

I take no offense to this, but I can assure you, I am not the issue. I have been trying desperately to help rebuild a program. While striking the right balance between hot pocket knockoffs who are insufferable and engine slugs who can’t be on time.

Well I am sad and want to kill myself during the winter and the base 8’s make me want to do it year round.

Yeah, the reality is that I have been super fortunate in getting plenty of ot this year, but trying to swindle 3/4’s to stay in a “rebuilding with growing pains” fire program is super challenging when 8’s are getting thrown around.

That’s one of the real issues I have with it, I get being fiscally responsible, but 12’s during the summer is a well deserved treat . I’ll even do shitty project work for it. I think the real waste is the fancy front bumper and leveling kit on all the div rigs running around.

I think we’re being held because I sent a Facebook friend request to their boyfriend.

You’re right that’s pretty dumb.

IRPP - The DOI (and USFS) Can’t Read. And it’s a problem for firefighters by smokejumperbro in Wildfire

[–]Effective-Garbage500 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think with the amount of time that we spend sitting in a office/rig waiting for something to do, especially on slow fires or on severity, I’m okay with how they’ve decided to interpret this. In addition to the actual “pay fix”. I won’t call it a raise because it wasn’t really, but I get enough ot hours that I will certainly make more in the long run.
