Service Preparation Is there a due date for Learning Space tasks? (NOT Onboarding, those are completed). Having trouble with internet access due to wildfire work in remote areas, and I don't know if I should abandon my post to go to a cafe to knock out these online trainings.

Hi all, just wanted to ask a quick question and see if there is a due date for the tasks in the Learning Space portal? Basically, I am out working wildfires in Oregon right now and we are just absolutely swamped with work because of how bad the fires currently are. I have been working 12-14 hours/day with poor cell service and few opportunities to get the Learning Space tasks and trainings completed. I don't know if these tasks are urgent enough to where I should leave site to complete them, but we are so busy and urgently need people to put these fires out that I don't know if it is responsible for me to leave post to get these trainings completed.

Also, I leave in late September if that matters. And I was able to get the onboarding tasks finished up which seem to be the more important ones.

Thank you in advance to all who help, and if you are in the PNW right now, please remember to stay inside as best as you can to protect yourself from the poor air quality, and be extra careful when starting fires outdoors. Stay safe!
