ETS2 Travel Authorizations and Vouchers

Some settings for us have changed in ETS2.  Several routing lists for approval that were in common use no longer exist.  As a result, it is possible that the next time you submit a travel document, it will appear to be submitted, but in reality will not go to anyone on the approval list   Everyone needs to go into their personal settings and and change their routing list to "0152 SMJ FOREMEN".  Any questions, give a call...

Promotions and New Hire

Jesse Myers recently accepted a job as AFMO on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge NF.  As a result, several positions were hired to fill his absence and the resulting trickle down.  Drew Pattison accepted a GS-8 Spotter position, Sam Cox accepted a GS-7 Squadleader position and Tyson Lucier accepted a GS-6  Smokejumper position.  Once again, thank you to the many great applicants for these jobs and congratulations to all those who accepted new positions!
