When men were men

More stuff from my previous life. Sortta funny reading it today 41 years later. The feminism generated by the mid to late 60's and early 70's had not kicked in yet. Almost, but not quite.

This is a form used when hiring forest firefighters in Forest Service Region One (all of Montana, parts of Idaho, North and South Dakota). The form was still around when I got there in 1979, at least in the file cabinet. It was revised in May of 1968, I was led to believe that it was really tough before then. So this is the huggy touchy feely form.

Item # 3 would eliminate most of the candidates today.

Item # 7 was a killer, so most kept their lips zipped when being hired.

Item # 11 was one you better follow or you were in trouble as a Crew Boss.
