First welcome to the forum. You'll find a great group of knowledgeable folks here ready and willing to help. There are plenty of us out here who both full time and work camp and would be happy to give your our opinion to any questions you ask. One way to get a feel for work camping with the federal agencies is to register with volunteer.gov That site lets you pick a state and then an agency and see what openings they have and what benefits they're offering. You can spend the time between now and when you're ready surfing what's out there and be ready to jump in when the time comes.
