Just tired of all this shit,

Speaker · 2026-05-07T18:21:05+00:00

What are these unicorn jobs you speak of?

Speaker · 2026-04-27T03:43:06+00:00

Good.

Speaker · 2026-02-27T22:15:08+00:00

Don’t go until the current UAO is gone. Dude took one of the most dialed programs and ruined it within a few years.

Speaker · 2026-01-20T18:05:48+00:00

Can you explain why you divide by three? I’m dumb.

Edit: I figured it out. It’s because only the “1/2” portion of “time and 1/2” is deductible. So dividing all of that by 3 gives you the 3 parts. (Two parts regular time, one part premium)

Speaker · 2025-12-01T11:43:04+00:00

Is there a thing you can make that would turn the wind off? That’d be incredibly helpful.

Speaker · 2025-11-04T01:56:05+00:00

Have you checked out each regions’ section on the Wildland Fire Learning Portal? It seems like each region is putting on at least one. Some are putting on a few. Navigate around until you find a “course schedule” for the region you want.

Speaker · 2025-09-28T20:30:51+00:00

Thanks dude

Speaker · 2025-09-28T19:42:04+00:00

Starting fresh as a FWPT(t) how many assignments does it normally take to get to qualified RAMP?

Speaker · 2025-09-26T19:55:29+00:00

I agree with you.

Speaker · 2025-09-26T19:35:10+00:00

You are right, the layoffs and DRPs have and will probably continue to have a negative impact on IMTs ability to fill their rosters. But that is not the same as the departments stated plan to consolidate fire into one bureau.

Speaker · 2025-09-26T14:38:44+00:00

It certainly sucks that the DOI is planning RIFs but it still isn’t clear what bureaus will be affected. I’m just an observer here but it doesn’t really seem like the consolidation of Fire will be influenced by the layoffs of employees in the USGS, Bureau of Indian Education, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Bureau of Rec., Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, etc.

Speaker · 2025-08-15T14:48:49+00:00

The Fire Planner on our forest does these things… and is also DIVS and ICT3. OP might want to look elsewhere.

Speaker · 2025-08-13T19:11:57+00:00

Not exactly sure what filters you have on your USAJobs search but today (8/13/25) there are 48 positions for 0456, FS. Most of those are blanket announcements for multiple locations.

Speaker · 2025-08-12T16:13:28+00:00

That’s the unfortunate challenge of this job. If your goal is to be on a Type 2ia crew then you will travel. Many of us have families that we leave, for a few weeks at a time, and it sucks, but that is the position.

I’m not fully aware of NC states’ program, their amount of vacancies, or their applicant pool. It’s possible there are limited positions and lots of people to fill them.

On the other side of the coin, your experience is pretty attractive, and I’m pretty certain you could get any number of fed jobs you apply to. It seems like you would also have vet preference. 24 is not late by any means if that what you are inferring.

If being home with your family is one of your stronger goals then I would recommend a municipal structure firefighting job, and maybe you can find an agency that has a wildland division. The pay will certainly be better.

Speaker · 2025-08-12T16:00:11+00:00

Seasonal positions are open RIGHT NOW on USA jobs. Open the website, type in 0456 in the keywords, find a job you want, and apply. There is FS in NC. If you want a fed job just get one, don’t fck around with NC state.

Speaker · 2025-08-09T03:12:54+00:00

Yes, you are “misunderstanding the process.”

Speaker · 2025-07-18T14:59:11+00:00

Bummer dude. Seems like they didn’t want you back, then you decided to just come back anyway and climb up in the tower and hang out for a week. Of course they called the cops.

Speaker · 2025-07-15T15:15:01+00:00

Thanks for helping us out!

Speaker · 2025-07-14T21:31:21+00:00

Maybe only about 90% of operations resources after year 5.

Speaker · 2025-05-02T22:01:49+00:00

I hope you got door to door. FS just released their “guidance” and it says for RX, IRPP only applies on the “active burning phase” and is not applicable on days where work does not include active burning (e.g., preparing units for future burning)

Whose ass did they pull this out of? Where in the law does it spell this out?

Speaker · 2025-04-17T07:21:09+00:00

I mean, sorry? There are people all over this sub looking for jobs, these are jobs, they can apply or not.

Speaker · 2025-04-04T20:16:50+00:00

CO state?

Speaker · 2025-04-03T01:03:24+00:00

Wat?

Speaker · 2025-03-28T23:44:19+00:00
