Not going to get into the details but I may need to go home (halfway across the country) to deal with some of the things life is throwing my way for 8-9 months. Making the assumption I’d have to quit the FS after just 6 months of being here and not making all that much progress in my apprenticeship, would I be able to hold on to my apprenticeship during that time and resume it when I come back to the forest? If yes, what if I get hired at a different forest or a different crew, would the apprenticeship be able to follow me there?

I’m a new hire to the FS. I’m an apprentice and this is my first season in fire. As an apprentice you have to take a bunch of elective courses. Attached is the course list. I’m keen on going to a hotshot and/or rappel crew. Which courses would best ready me/make me stand out? Courses that aren’t listed that y’all think are of value too. It doesn’t matter if those courses will be covered in the academies, I’d still like to get ahead.

Thanks in advance
