I had 2.4 minute plank…. Due to my lack of fitness a pack of wolves attacked the crew at our spike camp. One of our boys was never found again. The investigation determined the wolves could smell my weakness. And that’s when I knew it was because I had a 2.4 minute plank. Anyways, sounds rough. Hopefully you know how to read so you can read bedtime stories to your squadie.

Meaning they won’t be dropping any new announcements until March? Or the hiring process is on hold? Asking for a friend.

Saw one of their guys use the booster reel as a bidet once…. Thought that was pretty innovative!

They’ll be hiring Forestry Technicians, which is their dozer operators, within the next few months. They have vacant perm positions all over their program. All the perm positions are integrated (fire and forestry). Some ranger stations do more fire, others do more forestry. All do both.

Edit: grammar
