Yup we see the same at my agency. in 2017 he had people fighting to go out on strike teams. Now we have to mandatory people to go out occasionally. Part of that was we had so many vacancies during the pandemic trying to get folks on boarded and like @Chaparral said the commitment for LG on Fed and State incidents has gone up dramatically. OES engines being out for 2 months and every 14 days rotating folks. As far as which generation wants to go I see it as a mix, we have folks with young kids that already get mandatories a ton and 14 days assignment is tough and we have folks that have been going out year after year that are frankly burned out. I did 5 years on Hotshots when nobody asked when your last day off was. 21 days was normal. When I worked for Cal-Fire a 14 day IMT deployment was long except for some banner years like 2008. Now a 14 day IMT deployment is probably the minimum. People can only be stretched so thin before something breaks in them.
