It's not quite that bad. That US 6 month number excludes field training (typically 1 year) whereas the 2-3 year German number includes it (6 months I believe). This largely stems from a difference in how academies work. In many count

What does this have to do with the CA budget? This is about the US Forest Service which manages Federal land. The Federal government owns and is responsible for rather large swaths of California forests.
