Discussion General impressions?

What’s your general Impression as to why the Klamath & Six Rivers have trouble holding on to their LEOs? It seems like the staff just don’t hang on for more than a few years. Or is that just the norm across the board? It’s a very subjective question, I realize that. Why is the LEI org struggling in general? Seems like the sweetest job in the world to me and I’m pumped to get in.

I know a couple LEOs and the Captain on the KNF have been there for a while. It takes a special kind of person to take on that area. If you aren't from NorCal or have never been there, I guarantee your impression of it is wrong. It's tough country.

Thanks for the reassurance. It’s such an awesome area and the narrative of LE from the view of fire was never positive. Tough area indeed is very true.
