Does this suck or is it worth it

How much does a crew losing status actually affect their day to day operations? Assignments? Overtime? I’m trying to get a job in R5 and half the crews I’m looking at have lost status over the past few years. I’m wondering if it makes much of a difference or if I should avoid getting on one of those crews

Anyone know anything about the current crew? Do they have a pretty positive reputation?

Applying blind on usajobs right now, just wondering if anyone has any crew recommendations. I know, I know, the best crew is the one you’re on. Just wondering if there are any that you’ve had a particularly good experience with/worked on, or any you’d avoid.

Saw that these are going up on the 24th. I have a few seasons on handcrews/engines, and want to get on a shot crew next year. Wondering if I should only apply for the temp postings since I have no hotshot experience, or also apply to the gs3/4 perm ones

Hoping to get on a R5 crew next summer and doing some research on crews to apply for, plan on making some calls/emails over the next couple months to get my name on their radar. Wondering if anyone has worked on these crews or is familiar with any of them. Just curious about crew culture, hiring competitiveness, type 1 status, housing, any to prioritize or avoid.

These are the crews I’ve heard good things about on here and elsewhere:

SoCal

-Dalton

-Bear Divide

-Texas Canyon

-Valyermo

-Palomar

-El Cariso

-Laguna

-Los Padres

-Arroyo Grande

NorCal

-El Dorado

-Tahoe

-Shasta-Trinity

-Mendocino

-Lassen

-Klamath

-Modoc

Does anyone know if this is the round of postings for 2027 seasonal positions? I want to get on a hotshot crew next season and I’m not sure if this is the right round or not. There are 3 other rounds of postings going up over the next few months

I can’t take it anymore

I’ve been looking everywhere online and on this sub and can’t find a clear answer anywhere. If someone knows this I’d really appreciate the info

Interested in working for a burn module in CA this winter. But apparently it's mostly pile burning and you only get base hours. Do you think that’s worth doing for 6 months?

Just want to make sure I catch the job postings

Getting ready for 2027 hiring, and just wanting to get some feedback on my resume. I’ve already applied to some winter burn positions and it’s getting referred, which is a good sign, but I just want to make sure it looks good on a hiring managers desk too (specifically on a hotshot crew). Can dm or email to you if you’re willing! Would appreciate any help on this.

There were moments in seasons 1-4 when they weren’t super abrasive with each other, but they were never this happy go lucky pair that bought each other birthday presents. I get that Walt turning Jesse on Gus resolved some ill will between them, but all the terrible shit that happened between them didn’t just go away after that. There’s just something really off putting and cringe about this dramatic shift in their dynamic as soon as season 5 starts.

The entire downfall of Gus starts with him protecting his two dealers. The fallout with Walt, Gale dying, Hank starting to investigate him, and his eventual death.

The fact that he even knows who these dealers are is insane. He is running a drug enterprise that spans continents, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and he is somehow in close personal contact with two guys selling 8 balls out of their car?

All it would take is one street bust and these guys flipping to bring down Gus and his entire organization. I love the show but is this not a ridiculous to anyone?

I’m a month into taking 15mg and I just feel tired and medicated every day, even after sleeping 9 or 10 hours a night. Will this improve?

I’m hoping to get on a crew next season, and wanted to shoot over an email/leave a voicemail to sups, as well as visit/pt with them. Don’t want to bother them mid season, but want to get on their radar before hiring starts. Just wondering when I should reach out/visit? I’m applying to R5 South Ops crews if that makes a difference. Any advice on this process would be greatly appreciated

I just applied for a interior fire job and in the documents section there was nothing for references or IQCS, not even an “other” section. Am I missing something here? I was told that now references have to be a separate doc, not on our actual resume.

On my profile, it shows I have 48 books read. But when I look at a friends profile and see my profile on their friends list, it says “0 books” next to my icon. It only shows “1 book" when I have one added to my “currently reading” list. Am I logging books incorrectly?
