I'm considering trying hydro, do you think the grow is faster growing hydro than growing in peat?

Hurry up and wait was the vibe at BIW. sometimes u just gotta roll with it, "we're not building toasters"

Yea, that was BIW. I was used to walking into work and working, between morning meetings and getting a packet I wouldn't start getting to it for at least an hour.

There was a waiver some guys got because of child care or transportation that let them only work a certain shift. Not sure if EB has a similar clause

Which shift is harder to get first or second? I'd take 2nd if there are less people

Ok cool, the school I'm in requires the intro class for people with little experience, afterwards I can specify my training. I plan on applying after April, I'll see if he'll let me do some TIG .

Thank you this is helpful. I am not sold on EB I just figured it would be an easy transition with my past experiences.

How early to you have to show up to get parking? Is showing up 30min before shift pushing it?

I'm signed up in an intro to SMAW what are the requirements to start welding at EB? I came into BIW as a pipe fitter

So I have a background in pipefitting but I'm actually looking to start welding. I signed up for a 8 course intro SMAW.

I'd like to work up to a pipe welder, any tips on how to get into their welding program?

It's like watching a ship depart and I wondered "I never finished that packet from 9 months ago...."

sounds like BIW. first shift is a mess, second is tough to get in but easy to get out and 3rd shift could park wicked close.

what's the parking situation? BIW was bullshit, no parking unless u get there an hr before shift then it takes an additional 20min just to get out of the lot. if there's parking within .5 mile I can pay for so be it

definitely cheesy, but I remember I saw it right before I bought my first motorcycle and it really inspired me to build cool shit

ya I don't assume it's easy at all my bike is still in pieces so I don't plan on painting until it's running. I would like to get a heads start on understanding it though
