These jobs are great my current boss came down from AK and a friend of mine flys a Forest Service Beaver on floats, he said he loves it. Ok now for the disclamer. The hiring prosess for the Gov is long I mean you'll have a birthday waiting for stuff to happen. I'f you dig the outdoors, are tolerant of Mosquito's that need type ratings and are self relient.....go for it. Niceset thing about being gov is my wages are not tied to wiggling the stick worst part it really does take an Act of Congress to do anything, I waited 15 years to be reclassified as a firefighter and we're still working on that. So biggest advice from a Gov employee is if you want it go for it but be patient.
Good Luck
P.S.
In the southwest they shoot preditors out of a super cub.
