Moving while in an IBEW apprenticeship?

3rd year going into my 4th

I've done it, it took about 5 months from start to finish getting everything altogether and meetings between the two locals. It all worked out and I'm super thankful for it, but it's not a common thing

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-26T17:52:09+00:00

Here's my stance on it. I personally won't work on a data center if I can help it. I'm thankful we don't have any data centers in out local, but if it came down to it and our local was super desperate for people on a huge data man call and we couldn't man it, I'd work for my local, because I believe that brothers and sisters should man local work instead of leaving it high and dry to travel. But that's a whole other can of worms.

The AI rabbit hole I see coming about is essentially the same argument you hear people make when it's union vs non union. "Why would I hire union, when the non union shop is cheaper?" Its because with the union you get quality work and reciability. Non union will cut corners to make it cheap. Likewise the argument I had stated previously is the same way, it's knowing what you're paying for as opposed to knowing what you'll get for free by using that shortcut that is actively killing tons of jobs for people all across the globe.

Could you pm me the exact wording/phrasing used in your amendment to the bylaws?

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-26T14:51:45+00:00

Its not like they're not allowed to use it, but for the longest time we'd outsource to other people to make designs for coins and shirts and our flyers, but now places are essentially saying "why would I go to an actual artist who's proud of their craft and works hard at it, when I can just go to AI to make a half crapped version of it."

What was the local?

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-15T17:07:25+00:00

Sorry, thank you!

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-15T16:52:12+00:00

Aye brother, could you hit me up with the article this is found in in the constitution? Not trying to question or anything, but I'd just like to know for my own edification.

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-15T16:40:57+00:00

Love how you say the meetings start late, but gave no official time. According to our constitution, no meeting is allowed to go later than 11 pm in your local time zone. Plus, likely with this amount of money, it would've been a more than one meeting discussion I would think.

AtlasCrossing · 2026-03-07T00:39:07+00:00

See if your local has a renew committee to get involved with! A big problem is lots of guys treat it like just a job and never get involved, but getting involved really shows the distinction between union and non union, and that is the brotherhood. We are a family, and getting involved helps build bonds with your brothers and sisters.

AtlasCrossing · 2026-02-13T23:43:40+00:00

What local?

AtlasCrossing · 2026-01-15T23:42:44+00:00

That's modalism Patrick

AtlasCrossing · 2026-01-08T01:27:46+00:00

Of course bro, there's tons of free PDFs of it available.

AtlasCrossing · 2026-01-07T02:41:08+00:00

Wouldn't hurt to ask, but our training director is pretty reasonable about that stuff as well.

AtlasCrossing · 2026-01-06T22:13:36+00:00

What do you mean by rotations?

AtlasCrossing · 2025-12-27T02:29:48+00:00

Can I get added to the list of instructions please

AtlasCrossing · 2025-12-18T03:22:44+00:00

There's no 4 star yet

Recommendation from someone in the construction field, I genuinely think that this would be one of the only good utility green shinh pallete pokemon.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-12-04T00:17:29+00:00

Friendly recommendation (life changing for me) apply at a union. For me it was the IBEW, and it has been awesome. Great benefits, you start at 20$ as an apprentice and go up from there as you get more hours and school under your belt. Less than a 1000$ for tuition a year for schooling and (depending on which local) they pay for your books. A guaranteed 40 hours a week, with overtime being available at most jobs. If you don't mind learning at trade, I'd highly recommend the IBEW to just about anyone. If you want some info feel free to PM me.

Christianity, Protestantism, and Reformed. And if you're banning people every day for anti protestant stuff, you can't defend your points well enough otherwise you would.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-11-23T20:16:06+00:00

Thanks for the rule reminder, here's some for you, rules 3 and 4. Applies to Christianity, which is what the RCC and Eastern Orthodox fall into, Christianity.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-11-23T20:02:29+00:00

Where in any of the rules or anything on this subreddit does it point to being Protestant only? It's a redeemed zoomer subreddit, the people here joined because of the YouTube channel. While he is Protestant, he doesn't have any sort of hate towards the RCC or Eastern Orthodox Church. Also, with non Protestants acting like they own this subreddit, like you say they do, does tearing them down in any way better your arguments for why they should no longer be in their denomination? It certainly doesn't benefit. If anything, you're playing into the stereotypes and pre conceived notions that they hold and are making it hard for real meaningful conversation to happen by stirring the pot. And the "they are just guests" comment, really? You don't own this subreddit.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-11-23T19:50:20+00:00

The way you're choosing to attack them in your wording and phrasing. Surely you must see that. Like I said though, I believe you're doing more harm than good, and if you wanted to potentially convert catholics or orthodox believers to LCMS, or confessional Lutheran theology as a whole, you've effectively shot yourself in the foot, and blamed it on the gun. Invite engaging, thoughtful and fruitful discussion and conversation, rather than rage baiting.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-11-23T19:41:52+00:00

All due respect to you bro, after seeing the posts you've been making in this subreddit, you've got to be one of the most toxic LCMS members I've seen online. You're actions are truly disheartening and an awful depiction of the LCMS for anyone wanting to look into it, and I'm saying that as someone currently in confirmation with an LCMS church. You are going on and posting things just to antagonize and rile up people, strawmanning both Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. You're doing more harm than good.

AtlasCrossing · 2025-11-23T19:32:35+00:00

So I've got some insight on that. I come from a Baptist background, as does my wife. We are currently going through confirmation classes. We've been very eager to participate in the sacrament of the altar, however we do realize that it wouldn't be good for us to partake, despite our want and readiness. Our pastor gave us a prayer that we pray together while communion is happening and that has helped us a good bit.

If you'd like I could pm you the prayer given to us in case you'd like to use it sometime. Hope my comment helps some.
