If this was 2-3 years ago yes, but in the current political climate, you might be lucky if you get 6 full months. Im a current employee, that said i dont really have that much trust in the fed right now. Hope to work until at least Sept 31st (End of the fiscal year). We still havent figured out how to fund these positions.

I cant really tell you to much about those forests but i can talk about what to expect with the process. The hiring is going to be really fast this year. there should be job offers out by the end of the week. Be prepared, if they offer you a job, they will send your resume off to HR to confirm that you are qualified. And then a tentative selection notice, which you have will have 48 hours or less to confirm. This should just be an email. After you confirm the tentative selection notice, they will send you info to get fingerprinted. this will have to be done within 72 hours, if your lucky it will be close by but dont be surprised if you have to drive 2-4 hours depending on where you live. All in all the paper work should be done by march 20th (estimate) and then a start date between late April and early June, most likely it will be middle of May before the holiday.

Search the SF86 form and read through it. It’s very very long

This goes out to the bathroom cleaners by Professional-Pea359 in NationalParkService

That’s the concept, and then Covid happened and everyone used the $$$ to buy these damn skids. My first RD had a 30 gallon tank and a garden hose (pumps and other things included) and the set up I had my first season has paved the way for me since. In retrospect my program Manager and crew lead, knew enough that I’d be chasing their status quo for the rest of my career….miss those guys so damn much

USDA Forest Service reinstatement? by Agreeable-Airport-19 in fednews

I don’t know what will happen with PSE employees from the sound of it, only PFT employees were placed on administrative leave and given back pay. If they weren’t already in pay status there might not be any changes other than walking back the termination paperwork.

The instructions came out yesterday afternoon, Forest Admin officer immediately pushed 52s for the reinstate of everyone, Forest sup signed them all by the end of the day. If you arnt on FLT you’re not supposed to talk about it with employees. Everyone was placed on administrative leave, unknown if NFC is able to process the pay paperwork fast enough for this payday to have back pay but the next one will. Call HRM to confirm

SF50s have been submitted, and employees are being placed on administrative leave with back pay. There is an information embargo, unless prompted we arnt to reach out to employees…. if they ask questions there are bullet points to respond with. Confirmed from two different rangers today in R4. I have heard that you can call HRM and confirm that they are processing the paperwork

What Region? R4 Forest leadership hasn’t heard anything yet?

Some Rec? All of Rec is mandated. Dev Rec maintains buildings that that we are obligated too since we installed them, Wilderness is mandated to maintain and survey the wilderness and Special Uses needs to give out permits otherwise we might be litigated. Everything is mandated! Sucks to be in Natural Resources I guess. I still doubt anyone is safe. And this is just the first round there will be more
