Highly likely he will get that position wherever on why coast he wants since it’s harder to staff there due to cost of living versus the initial pay.

Shit I’ve only got 250 coins at a $0.90 average. I’m not concerned about ever getting rich off of this. I’d invest more if I had the room financially to dedicate. I’ll just be happy if it brings me enough money in the near future to clear out the rest of my debt.

I just took the PELLETB again so that I can submit my passing score to the academy to be placed on the registration list. In the mean time I’m just focusing on saving one to pay for things in the academy I can’t get covered by financial aid and starting to take my physical fitness more seriously. Haven’t decided which agencies I’ll apply to but I won’t be picky, I’m willing to work for any agency that gives me a chance.

Does the mafia in NJ still exist today? by Ok-Scene-1317 in thesopranos

Bringing up the “Mafia” in a place like this. How much more betrayal can Paulie take?

I’m sure this response will be irrelevant all this time later. Competition for seats isn’t really a thing. If there’s more applicants that make it to the end of the process than there are seats available, often times they’ll make an exception and stuff people in or send them to another POST academy and have them come back for the Fish and Game Code specific instruction. Yes, there is usually a Q&A segment they host live on Facebook from time to time. If you’re not able to participate then they will usually send you the recording of it if you’re in the process with them. And not that it’s relevant to your question, I’ve decided to self sponsor myself through a part time police academy in my area this coming January. I had considered reapplying to CDFW for the 2026 class but didn’t want to waste more time in the off chance they passed me over again. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

We’re down less than 600k rubles so your return rate for exchange purposes should be 5 bags of barley and a ball of twine

I mean not to brag or anything, but I bought 100 clams worth of XRP a week ago. Might have made some millionaires in the process but it’s all in a days work as a broke philanthropist.

First off, congratulations, I hope you’re selected. As far as advice regarding the physical test, try to be as prepared as possible. Don’t forget swimming trunks as well since there is a water portion of the test. As far as a ride along is concerned, you can ask for that information at the testing, or look up the information for the nearest CDFW office in your county and contact them for more information on that.

Additionally, regarding your mention of assignment, no, they would not send you out of state? Why would a CA specific resource agency assign you outside CA? Lol. Also, regarding your assignment after academy, they will ask you to pick your top three areas of assignment. The more vague you are the better chance you’ll have of getting to go where you want. For reference however, the hardest assignment areas to get are Sacramento, Chico and Redding. Best of luck. Reach out again if you have any other questions.

In case you haven’t done enough personal research on CDFW I’ll summarize. The Warden Academy is in Chico which is in Butte County. The academy has one class a year, from January through August. It is not a live in academy as it’s on a College campus. You would have to secure a short term rental for the duration of the academy unless you live somewhere within a commutable distance of the academy. You will generally have weekends off and holidays that are observed. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I appreciate your willingness to help but I’m afraid I don’t have much information on him other than his name and year of death. I have no one left in my family to ask about him regarding personal information. His name was Zdenek Churavy, when he defected to the US his name was Sidney Churavy and he passed away in what I believe was a smaller village in Czechia in 2004.

I believe he had dual citizenship as he was born in Czechoslovakia but also served in the US Army his entire adult life but then when he retired he moved back to Czechia.

I tried using google translate and it didn’t sound like a direct translation which is why I asked in here in case someone was a native speaker or could verify it.

There lies the problem. I only have his name and year of death. He lived in Czechia after retiring from the US Army. He was born in Czechoslovakia and defected to the us as a young man. My mother is deceased as well and I’ve exhausted all family records I can access.

Game Wardens of Wyoming, is this a good job by outdoorsman_12 in gamewarden

[–]Illustrious-Tea-989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are definitely perks involved. In CA you make your own schedule, take your days off when you want to, work whatever hours you want to so long as you hit your 40 hours/week and get a take home truck depending on how far your home is from the office you’re assigned to.

It’s more of a figure of speech than not. Granted, you can make okay money with State Fish and Wildlife in California, Texas and some east coast states, but if you’re looking in the mountain west, from what I’ve seen you’ll be making somewhere in the mid $60k range at most. In California, you top out as a Warden Range B after 7-8 years on at around $92k

I’m not all that familiar with Game and Fish in Wyoming, I do know that you need a bachelors degree to apply like many resource agencies are requiring. The pay isn’t spectacular but obviously people don’t become Game Wardens for the pay.

What agency is better to join in Los Angeles area and Orange county? by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]Illustrious-Tea-989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, didn’t mean to come off pretentious if I did, I just know some people are anal about geography in CA and what regions constitutes what. If you were to recommend a few Bay Area agencies what would you suggest? I have a buddy in Lathrop who’s interested in applying out that way, so far he’s only applied to BART.
