be a wildland firefighter

Well I took my midterm in this academy thing that I’m in and it was on all of the structure fire stuff we’ve been doing and i think I aced it! Honestly, it was cake. I knew my shit and if i did poorly I would be really surprised. But now we’re on to the wildland side of things and will be doing that until May. I only wish this course could be more intensive like, add 2 more days a week or a few more hours per day and be done a lot sooner so we could start working sooner. Oh well, I guess not everybody has all the time in the world for it like I do!

Been doing this for 5 years, loved most every minute. Pack test season right now. Be ready to carry a 45 lb. pack 3 miles in less than 45 min. walking. The rest is fun (sort of). :D
