Me, I'm a DOD forester for the Army, on the south end of Puget Sound. I'm mostly an engine guy, FFT1/ICT5/SRB all quals but helicopters and tractor/plows, should be ICT4 by the end of this season. Next qual RXB2 and/or TFL. We hire every year, look for us on USAJobs.com.

EDIT: note that I'm strictly wildland and have no EMT/structural quals whatsoever.
