Future firefighter LA COUNTY, my gameplan

Hello,

My plan is to work my *** off as a firefighter and get all the qualifications I can, one being medic, that gives pay increases. Work all the overtime I can manage while trying to stay sane. My dream is to own land and a property that I can hunt since it's a big passion of mine. Overtime potential is endless in LA County it seems with firefighters making over 200k and up to 400+, this comes at a price of having no life and really putting the stress on yourself, but I want what I want. My plan is to live frugal with the goal to buy a condo to start, maybe outright if I can manage to get the overtime and repeat that at least once. Giving me around 2k of profit or so a month per place, I'll buy back my military time and have to serve 14 years to retire if I choose to. What approach would you take and does my plan seem sound?  I'm open to all advice, just trying to reach my goal in a timely manner.
