some of you may remember that i went to the fire academy during the winter. and that i was desperately looking for a job as a seasonal firefighter this summer. i had put in applications everywhere i could think of, and even went to some interviews. but, by about this time of the year it had begin to sink in that i wasnt gonna get hired this year... i was running out of money fast. and i had even sunk so low and gotten a job at "best buy" which i started last week. (my first job since last august). to say the least i was pretty down and out...
well not any more :D i got a call last night at 9:30 from CDF in San Diego jawdrop looks like they need more people and i was high enough on the list. i cant even believe it, i am on cloud nine... wish me luck this summer, and i hope i will have a little bit of time to use my boat this summer between all the overtime wink

Good job! I assume CDF is wildland firefighting..?.. I did that for a little while when I worked at Rural/Metro here in AZ. Cant say I miss fighting fires with a shovel. But I had a lot of fun while out on the campaign fires. Brings back memories of terms like polaski, snags, chain(measurment), shake-n-bakes, sawyers, crowning, piss pumps, SEAT's, type-6 and all the other kinds, blah blah blah... you know. :D
I hope its at least as much fun for you as it was for me.

Congrats on the job!! I've been on the job for almost 20 years (no old man jokes please :mad: ) and it's been great every day. You're gonna love it!!! Stay safe and keep testing because a full time job can be right around the corner. I've never met you but if we go to a big fire together I'm sure I'll know who you are. You'll be the guy walking around with a smile and a WOODY :D :D :D
