Hey /out/. Friendly /k/ommando here. Question for any park rangers or people employed by the parks service.

How much does your job suck? Are there any peculiarities you would not see in another career? Camp life, barracks, etc?

It seems like a good fit for me, but the range of experience is daunting. Anything from tearing ticket stubs to approaching hunters to check for licenses or camping solo several days and potentially being eaten by mountain lions. I'm an older Army vet (35), am comfortable with rifle and shotgun, and patrolling the wilderness is my dream job.

Thanks for your answers anons.
