    hey yeah, sorry it took me awhile to check this site, didn't have internet. but yeah i started about five years ago. i just went to a forest service station, met some captains and got there numbers. applied and just kept bugging them. after a year on a type 2 crew i decided i wanted to be a hotshot. ran my ass off during the off season and met some hotshot captains, did an agility test for them and got on. you can also do engine stuff too, whichever you want to get on. i work in region 5 which is northern california pretty much. feel free to write back if you got any more questions.
