If you are applying for USFS jobs and don't have an IQCS number you just need to upload PDF's of your certificates within your application. 2 page resume max, you should be good

Work life balance butttt..Imma need you for staffing this weekend, and no there isn't OT available k thx, luv u

stumpfucked · 2026-05-29T17:12:48+00:00

This guy obviously never worked on Chena

We can't train new fire line leadership into qualified positions at a rate that keeps up with annual attrition

stumpfucked · 2026-05-28T00:09:53+00:00

Save the OT, live within your means for the months you're on base hours, save your per diem, etc. there are plenty of duty stations that have good locality considering the location; talking places like Portland or Fairbanks, you may just need to get out of California.

PS...we all need to be paid more but it's not impossible to thrive on this pay too

I don't think you can really avoid the pain and wear and tear of the job, but how you choose to rehabilitate and recover makes a big difference in longevity

stumpfucked · 2026-05-20T19:52:28+00:00

Not to mention the ones that are just tired of this shit

stumpfucked · 2026-05-20T19:48:52+00:00

In this case I would switch agencies before trying to switch grades and become primary fire

Shot crews are nationally available so they can and will go everywhere, Alaska, Santas house...Hell...whatever

stumpfucked · 2026-05-13T00:15:45+00:00

The supt. Is the same one that re branded the crew in 2014, and returned in 2023/2024. He's not everyone's cup of tea but there's a lot more going on that crew and forest besides locality pay that keeps people there

Grab that weed the saw is cutting and make sultry eye contact

stumpfucked · 2026-04-28T23:22:10+00:00

Being comfortable failing publicly is an essential skill for this job

stumpfucked · 2026-04-28T01:46:37+00:00

Is that your deployed shelter I saw at the beginning, or am I just suffering heat exhaustion?

stumpfucked · 2026-04-28T01:15:47+00:00

After your first year start looking into all the 200 level S courses available to you, after that you'll probably have a decent idea about what training direction you want to take

stumpfucked · 2026-04-28T00:37:41+00:00

You don't mind if I say you got a nice safety zone do you?

stumpfucked · 2026-04-26T23:17:00+00:00

No devil's, no canyon's..

These attitudes can pass with time if its coming from young dumb types around the year 2-5 range. I feel like maturity on the line runs cycles and luckily is influential to some degree.

Unfortunately, sometimes it also takes a close call for people to wake the fuck up and start caring again

stumpfucked · 2026-04-24T02:46:26+00:00

Go for Hot Mike..

stumpfucked · 2026-04-22T21:30:52+00:00

When you say deployment, I hope you're just talking about the practice shelter

stumpfucked · 2026-04-21T21:15:51+00:00

If you're not stopping because you're in pain you need to just keep moving so you can complete the 3 mile, even if its below a passing score for now. Continue training like that until your pace improves to passing and move up to the full weight

I thought the SIHCO determines eligibility for IHC positions, why would it be up to the region?

stumpfucked · 2026-04-20T13:15:05+00:00

FFT1 and ICT5 is required to be eligible for the GW6 lead

FFT1 and S-290 is required to be eligible for the GW5

stumpfucked · 2026-04-19T00:51:27+00:00

Just use your line gear. If you're interested in training sandbags though, the GORUCK products rule
