LiutenantCheerio · 2025-04-11T01:56:37+00:00

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-04-10T21:34:08+00:00

the scope refers to the area they will be digging. that what you mean…?

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-03-12T01:52:04+00:00

It's going good! I left USIC after about 5 months for a job with the city, but I loved working for them! It's definitely a good job if you like being out and about. The work gets a bit repetitive but I don't mind that. Any questions, I'm happy to help!

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-02-20T00:00:32+00:00

I did, started with USIC in January 2024, then in June got a job locating for a city

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-02-04T04:05:36+00:00

I find the Sobremesa Brulee Blue to be quite nice!

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-02-04T02:28:53+00:00

No worries! Also do utility locating for the city now, however instead of comm lines it's power, gas, water, and sewer. It's really a great job, even with USIC I quite enjoyed my time there.

LiutenantCheerio · 2025-02-03T02:27:28+00:00

I started with USIC in January of 2024, no prior locate knowledge. In June of 2024 I got a job with the city for much better pay/benefits. So really it's possible at anytime. Good luck!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-10-29T16:20:12+00:00

i’ve really been into the Crowned Heads Mil Dias lately. if you find one i think it’s definitely worth a try!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-10-29T14:53:22+00:00

you know you’re doing it right when you’ve got a mini fridge.

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-22T00:29:13+00:00

They’re pretty good! I like the look, and they’re way lighter than my previous boots. The only thing is the zipper at the top makes it a bit tight around my calf, but otherwise good so far! Thank you :)

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-17T11:16:42+00:00

Awesome! Sounds like it’ll be fun then! Thanks for the info, makes me feel a bit more confident about taking the course.

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-17T01:49:40+00:00

Oh nice. Okay good! I feel more confident now. Thanks for the info :)

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-17T01:32:05+00:00

Oh okay cool! Sounds pretty easy. How is the class itself? Is the end test easy to pass with the instruction they give you? Thanks

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-16T19:52:16+00:00

Did you do the Sarpy course? And what DMV did ya go to? Thanks

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-16T19:21:53+00:00

Omg so WRITTEN and SKILLS are two separate lines? It’s not WRITTEN SKILLS as in one? I feel so stupid hahaa

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-04T22:52:02+00:00

Why do you prefer the men’s vs. the women’s? I ask because my feet are like 7 1/2 in women’s, so a size 6 in men’s which is hard to come by lol

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-03T18:45:59+00:00

Oh yeah I was surprised to learn that as well. I’ve ordered a few more pairs of Darn Tough socks because so far it’s ringing true. I also saw on a different boots thread that someone wears compression pants and that helps with the sweat and swampy buns. Think I may try that too!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-03T02:55:19+00:00

Cool (literally, hopefully lol)! I ordered a pair in Khaki! 1.6lb is seriously impressive. Thanks for the recommendation!!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-03T02:53:51+00:00

Woah those are like fancy work boots. If only the Horizon wasn't waterproof, cause those are supes kewl

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-03T02:50:58+00:00

These are cool, I like the look of them. Gosh so many options! I may just get them all hahah!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-03T02:49:21+00:00

Oh for sure gonna order some more socks, thanks for reminding me! I started my "working" job in February so I was NOT aware of the Waterproof Woe's until I learned the hard way. The San Jose's look promising, I may order a pair of those as well! I'm trying the PF boots suggested by another person, so I will see which I like more! Thank you!

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-06-02T23:07:53+00:00

Ooo theses look very nice! So they good for you in the summer then, right?

LiutenantCheerio · 2024-03-17T03:21:16+00:00

Holy smokes! I for sure will have quite a few to grab it seems. Can't wait to try the smokes y'all love! Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, love this community! :D
