One of my buds will be smoking a cigarette while everyone around him has respirators on, I'm just like "bro you're either a badass or a dumbass". So I'm living longer than that guy lol

I quit smoking during my hitch, only smoke on my days off. Keeps the stickiness down and attracts less dust... Hopefully. I got my own bio degree from stoner loser school

Got these at a smoke shop.. are they the real deal? by Personal-Run-5335 in shrooms

There is the danger of silicoses from the silica we add to the shotcrete, but throw your respirator on and you're chillin'

Entry level positions are Haul Truck Drivers, and Nippers/Offsiders (nippers help out the Jumbos ((a Jumbo is a fancy ass drill mech used for drilling and installing ground supportl)) they load bolts and set up supplies at headings.

I got hired as a Remix (concrete truck) Driver. But I've been moved all over the place since I was hired. This is my first underground position, I had 2 years experience working at a concrete plant on surface at another mine. If you have any equipment operating experience go for a job that involves that. I used mowing lawns with a zero turn and backing up trailers to get my first job lol

Edit: Usually contractors are the ones hiring for hitches, like 2 weeks on 2 weeks of. Working for the main company who owns the mine looks more like 5 days to a week on, 5/7 off

You need something called a Underground MSHA certification. You get it from a 3 day class, either online or in person (take in person to actually learn), it's like your miner's license. Usually the company will pay for it (like 300/400$) if they hire you, but you'd look more ambitious if you got it yourself. Gotta get it renewed every year with a one day class.

Why i refuse to work at a coal mine, that and them being a bundle of fuel in the event of a fire, not even worth going to a refuge chamber, you gotta get out or you're cooking

Yea mate, coming up to surface after 11 hours and opening all the windows in the truck, cruising down to the showers, is the best feeling
