I am currently in the military but I am honorably seperating July 2010. I have no experience or training in any firefighting but I am interested in starting a career in wildland firefighting or general building firefighting. I am willing and would like to move West to ID, MT, WY, CO area or South East TN, SC areas. I am looking for any information or suggestions about where to get started or any type of contacts. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
