Hey Guys,
I got my basics last year (S130/190, L-180, I-100). Anyway, I didn't work Wildland this year, instead opting for a year of EMS experience under my belt. I am definitely planning on trying to get hired this upcomming season, but in the meantime wanted to go ahead and get my S131/S290, as well as my S212 knocked out.
My question is, would you go ahead and get these before next fire season or work a season, get some hands on experience, and then take these courses? The main reason I want to go ahead and get them is that I want the advanced training ( I plan on going even more advanced in the future, just do want expereince before that), I also want to show possible employers that I am serious about the job and took the next steps. What are you guys thoughts on this? Thanks for the help!
