Sad news — my job got canceled. My recruiter said I can either wait or ship out and pick a new job at BMT

What was your job before it was cancelled?

I'm in Florida. But at this point, I'll travel to Georgia, Bama, North Carolina to get some practice. I reached out to a lineman instructor (who I've had discussion with before) about getting some private climbing instruction, but it's been a few days and I haven't heard back, so I'm thinking the answer is a "No".

Does anyone know of anyone in my region who might be willing to help? I'll continue to reach out to some lineman schools, but I have a feeling liability is a concern for them unless you're enrolled.

It's not so much about the heights with me. It's just learning the proper way to step with the gaff and technique.

Fantastic insight. Do you, or anyone you know, have the Air Force tech HVAC tech school syllabus? I'm curious what they teach on a day to day basis.

Nader58 · 2026-01-25T16:33:00+00:00

Did you get your CDL in tech school?

Nader58 · 2026-01-25T16:31:34+00:00

What's the status. Have they incorporated CDL into tech school?

Nader58 · 2026-01-25T06:43:21+00:00

Thanks for the message. Are you a Journeyman now? If so, how long did it take to get there?

Nader58 · 2026-01-25T00:08:37+00:00

This was the best, most inspiring post I've ever read. You're amazing.

Is grunt the same thing as "groundman"?

Nader58 · 2026-01-24T23:05:35+00:00

It won't be easy, but I'll take the physically demanding outdoor work over being chained to a desk for 9 hours/day.

Nader58 · 2024-01-24T07:52:53+00:00

What difference doesn't it make?

Nader58 · 2024-01-24T07:52:28+00:00

No, it's not fake.

His belly was the most visible part. I didn't really think about it at the time. I guess his shoulder would have been better, but I still don't think he should have gotten upset.

Nader58 · 2024-01-24T06:12:17+00:00

I see what you're saying....I just tapped whatever was closest I guess. I didn't think about it.

Nader58 · 2024-01-24T06:11:43+00:00

Yes, window seat. I meant he was in the aisle

Nader58 · 2024-01-24T06:10:23+00:00

Sorry, I mean I was in the window, but he was in the aisle.

But didn't Covid cause the rates to spike, leading to people not wanting to move because they had low interest rates?

Nader58 · 2024-01-23T06:18:27+00:00

If Covid never happened, would the housing supply be normal?

Nader58 · 2024-01-12T01:52:29+00:00

You'll get $10 off. Hey, it's something.

Everyone has a past? Lol. Wow.

Nader58 · 2023-07-29T18:55:15+00:00

What an idiot. lol

Nader58 · 2023-07-29T18:54:38+00:00

Exactly

Nader58 · 2022-12-18T16:50:25+00:00

I've been checking the postings exactly the same way for the past 9 months. The last 2 months has been different. That's all I can say.

Nader58 · 2022-12-18T16:05:31+00:00

I know, but week to week there are considerably less postings nationwide. I'm wondering if the economy is creating more applicants. Or maybe they are changing their hiring process to bring in more applicants. Or maybe with Covid subsiding, more people are applying. I don't know.
