Destination: Nowhere Near

"This is My life, and Freedom's my profession"

So Lets get straight to the point. MY FIRST MAJOR SPIKE. Most people are going for about 6-8 weeks to their first projects, but because I'm on FRT, I need extra trainings to become a Forest Firefighter and I need trainings in chainsaw use. SO on the 16th of November (2 days after my induction) We will be driving to Salt lake City, Utah and working at a giant Food bank. We will be driving around the city and picking up foods from donaters and such. It will be cool because I am getting certified to be an authorized NCCC driver so I hopefully will be able to drive the sponsor vehicles around the city! We will be living in these sweet cabins just outside the city in a really gorgeous area. I am sooo excited.

We will be there for a month and then we will come back to Sacramento for my trainings. In Sac, we will have 2, 40 hour week of training and then (DADADAD

Speaking of teams, my team is really great. It was hard for me to move from my temporary pod who were all crazy and goofy, a lot like me, to a team who are a lot more focused but I am really happy with me team. They are are super nice and wicked reasonable as well as fun. Other teams are already having conflicts but its hard for me to see any major conflicts coming about at all.

There are a lot of really cool projects for the other teams too. The entire gold unit, which about 7 teams, 60 people, will be heading to the Gulf to do house rebuilding. A lot of other teams are going places to build houses, Wyoming, So Cal, etc. One team is going to be camping on the beach in the Catalina Islands and removing invasive species. AHHH so many cool projects.
