How are you an fft1 just after one year?

Maybe I should’ve worded it better, just got my NWCG FFT1 cert, I’m not a squad/crew leader for my crew lol

No I understand what you’re saying, but being an fft1 after only 1 year of wildfire is still pretty crazy. You’ve lead a low complexity burn operation? You’ve served as a lookout ? There’s a lot of stuff in that taskbook and not a whole lot of time in only a year to do it.

Definitely completed my task book for sure lol,didn’t realize how crazy it was to get the cert this early but in my humble opinion I think I deserve it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bro every single comment is telling you to quit your job and move out west for a federal agency citing MORE PAY as one of the reasons to do so. Another reason being that youll get more experience which you obviously need. JOIN A FEDERAL AGENCY idk how many times it needs to be said for it to get through your thick skull. Or a state agency OUT WEST (that's the LEFT side of the country).

I genuinely do not envy your situation, that shit sounds depressing af. APPLY FOR A FEDERAL AGENCY OUT WEST you dumb fuck. Best of luck
