I wish everyone that reads this could spend a day at one of these forest service job corp centers and see first hand these young men and women learning a trade. Not just wildland fire, which is actually a small part of these centers. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, admin and I am just scratching the surface. Offering young men and women an opportunity to learn a trade and start a career.
Just terrible.
