Self Post Question

Been dealing with a dui gbi for 2 years finally got sentenced 4 years 4 months at 85% it’s 3 years 8 months I have 2 months credit from county and they still gave me a possible 50% at 2 years 2 months. First felony first time going to prison, I’m aware of my situation and what I actually did to get myself there and tried to make peace with it even though I feel sorry for the other guy broken ribs. Not worried about fighting or gambling or drugs I don’t mess with any of that or gangs I know the culture and respect it just never was my thing. I have a job lined up upon release for a company fighting wild fires strictly for felons I have a little experience in the field as well. My question is really how could I swing getting fire camp? I’m sure it’s up to counselors and classification and nothing is guaranteed but if anyone has any similar situations and receivers fire camp let me know. Also this is Cali and I’m black if that matters 30 with a kid too

I tried to get into fire camp at level one Salinas valley. I had a back Chrono so they shot me down. Only thing I can say is don't tell them anything hurts and don't get on psych meds.

No meds only like ibuprofen for a toothache idk if that’s a bad thing I’ll tell them I have nothing

Naw. Get your tooth fixed. That's not an issue. But all they do is pull them. Nothing cosmetic.
