BIA-Sycuan Wildland Fire Fighting Academy "Dirty Dozen" Academy #12 graduates, April of 2009.
"One day I just woke up and I was like, you know, I really want to become a firefighter I wanted to know what that is...".
-Firefighter Recruit Armstrong, White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation
RECRUIT HEAGNEY
Recruit Heagney, a 26-year-old, 6-year Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom 2005 OIF 2005 as an 0311 rifleman, threw in the towel on the Marines and joined the Sycuan fire academy to fulfill a childhood dream to become a firefighter. Heagney became the class guide, called cadence for the class and shares his experiences during video interviews.
RECRUIT ARMSTRONG
Recruit Reagan Armstrong Jr., an Apache Indian of the White Mountain Indian Reservation, joined the Sycuan program after completing a full wildland fire season and some volunteer training with his reservation fire department.
I got some great recruit participation on my interview process, but I had so much bonus time into the project I had to wrap up production thanks everyone who took the time to speak befor the camera.
