can smokejumpers be groundpounders

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Smokejumpers : One Thread

hello, i'm interested in becoming a smokerjumper. i'm currently in the navy and i'm a mechanic for p-3's. i hear that there are some outfits that use the p-3 in their ops. i really love my job as a mechanic and i really love being a volunteer firefighter. i thought it would be great if i could somehow combine the two. does anyone have any ideas or info. thanks

P3 Mechanics

for A & P mechanic information you may want to look at the Associated Air Tanker Pilot home page: http://airtanker.com I am sure people on their BB can give you an idea of what the job market is like for mechanics with P3 experience.
