My Life In The CCC

For those of you who don't know yet, CCC stands for California Conservation Corps. I finally decided to show you all what my crew & I do everyday. Yeah, it's fun yet hard at the same time. It's taking time to grow on me, but it's cool.

Hey I was wonder how can I get in the ccc right after high school because I'm really interested

[EarthlyS]

@UPSTATE50009 Google the California Conservation Corps, and you'll get a lot of information. Figure out which location is nearest you to come in and start the recruiting process. Let your parents know, and be ready for an amazing adventure.

Ah yes the Corps. I was stationed up in Shasta Pacific's Leggett. Did my COMET training in Fortuna. I always loved the forests in Northern Cali and left the program as a Supergrade (Green Hat) General Specialist. What you guys are doing is alsome!! It was an honor taking part in that. I was 20 when I went in, and left at 22. Now I'm 31. I still have some of my old badges and my Class-A. Hat's off to you guys & gals!!

@SMACKSMASHMOUTH hey i am planning to go there or fortuna, will you still be there? show me the ropes?

[EarthlyS]

u can tell them when you get there cuz there's a guy that was at my center using a cane. he didn't do physical work instead he stayed in the clothing place [our uniforms]. they might have u on that for a bit til it heals up.
