Am I missing anything?

I’m hoping to become a lookout for either the 2026 or 2027 summer seasons. I currently work in parks and recreation and have for a few years now. I previously was in the conservation corps and have an Associates degree in Forestry. I have experience with chainsaws, wilderness first aid and am an avid backpacker. This summer I’m volunteering for the first time as a fire lookout doing 24 hour shifts. Besides obtaining my red card (which I plan on doing relatively soon) is there anything else that will make me a better candidate or more prepared for the job?
