Im a wildland firefighter and always traveling so I rarely have time to go out or meet women/men. Who else goes through this and how do you guys deal with it?

Fuck man, in the same fucking boat. I basically hibernate between seasons and make gym, food, and Veeky Forums a full time job. So as for coping, not really. Seriously contemplating the army by virtue of the fact that it will challenge me and basically force me to socialize.

this is the first time i've ever seen one of my fellow smoke sucking retards on any board. i'm leading a burn crew for the winter right now.
in the same fucking boat. feels bad man.

Feel you there I've done the same with the Navy, completed MEPS and just deciding whether or not to go now.

you guys federal or private? what territory?

i'm federal in the summer and non-profit in the winter. nature conservancy runs a lot of good crews and you can get a perm position in a comfy chunk of land and not deal with federal faggotry. but as far as hours and crew time federal is obviously superior.

I wouldn't recommend this for the virtue of socialization. You'll be put into a cesspool of retarded 17-18 year old arrogant kids, and the fact you won't have time to really go out and meet people outside the military won't change. The difference, you're stuck for the terrm of your contract.

Federal, Appalachian.

One more note; I promise you being a wildland firefighter is more of a challenge than anything you'll get out of the military. unless you decide to go for a high speed position like SOF, EOD, etc. and you'd probably enjoy the Coast Guard more, you'll actually get to help American citizens directly

>Seriously contemplating the army by virtue of the fact that it will challenge me and basically force me to socialize.
dude you're gonna be paid way worse, treated like more of a retard and get only marginally better socializing and social capital. not only that most of the positions are going to be easy compared to fire, and this comes from my experience of leading veterans fire crews of combat deployed crayon eaters.

no matter where you go, there you are. change yourself.
