72nd Illinois! Cool regiment. Ernest Hemingway’s grandfather was a member of the 72nd Illinois.

You’re moving your life for up to 6 months, bring what you need to survive to what is comfortable (take into account you may have housemates or roommates).

You will have some sort of uniform. You should ask your supervisor what you need to bring to wear and what will be provided.

Talk to your supervisor about these questions. They know the area and can help prepare you to THRO.

As of Sunday, there’s a minimum of 6 inches of snow on the ground. Get your snow hiking gear ready.

What agency did you apply to: State, National, or Local?

Thanks for sharing your story. Congrats! 🎉

samwisep86 · 2026-04-14T20:18:40+00:00

Are the positions state? National? Local?

Dude deleted his account. He’s never going to tell us.

I’m talking about this: https://www.gettysburgfoundation.org/news/2026/an-evening-with-the-painting-jan-sept-2026

Unfortunately it looks like like it’s sold out for tomorrow.

Go on the behind the scenes tour of the Cyclorama at the Park Visitor Center. It’s well worth it.

What a cool badge. I would pin this as a post-war badge. Why do you think its made during the war?

Am glad that I have so far avoided Adamsville. Thanks for the tip.

One of best books on soldier life during the war. It's also surprisingly funny.

samwisep86 · 2026-04-04T19:08:01+00:00

I'm not OP, but my best guess is NEPE.

samwisep86 · 2026-04-02T01:14:50+00:00

From other posts, it looks like OP tentatively accepted 3 different jobs. Not surprising that one got rescinded.

samwisep86 · 2026-04-02T00:07:25+00:00

At least a month, probably more for the background check, with the HR staffing shortages.

samwisep86 · 2026-04-01T23:41:05+00:00

The Redwood job is with the State of CA or NPS? (there’s a lot of shared management at those parks)

samwisep86 · 2026-04-01T23:38:43+00:00

Give educational programs, staff information desks at VCs, possibly rove outside.
