Just did S-390 this week, S-330 in 3 weeks, and RX-310 in July. Got snowed the hell out in Ft Collins yesterday. Weird thinking about fire during a heavy snowstorm. Still, why are they scheduling training during fire season? Oh, yeah, that's right -- the DOD cadre folks are all from the deep south, and it's not THEIR fire season.

Thats nice to have especially them GPS systems.
Our agency tracks us with some little thing but we cant see our location in our tractors.
Florida Forest Service is implimenting GPS in their tractors where they can see where they are at and the supervisor can too.
But those systems cant track if youre 5 miles away but generally youre not going to be that far away from your supervisor or transport.
D8 would be nice but most of the time they use them for KG.
We try to keep most our IA tractors small because of the pine plantations we have and dont want to knock every landowner pine tree down.
We have 450Gs up to our D6N and TD 15 and we do have a John Deere 1050 with KG blade.
Them skidgines are nice to have. We were going to use a unimog and put a tank on it

were burning here in Georgia and Florida
But we are getting rain soon. But we really need a tropical storm.
Yeah, I know it's hoppin' down there right now but it'll break soon. They appear to have planned all of the training this year around that assumption.

Are they still teaching nomograms in 390? Been awhile since I've taken it.
Of course. I kinda like 'em, really. They're a lot of math packed into a very usable graphic format. They're also sort of teasing BEHAVE Plus but I think that's a S-490 thing exactly as nomograms were teased in S-290 but not really a major component until S-390. It's like the NWCG guys think they're a soap opera of some kind.
