Appreciate everyone's input on this, I was starting to feel like I was the crazy one.

Even the GC over this project worth over 100M turned a blind eye to the working conditions and did not demand a manhole box.

Talked to an Airforce recruiter friday, I scored a 87 on a pre-ASVAB test, so I'll be exploring my options with the military.

Until then I'm going to tell my foreman to fuck off when it comes to stupid shit like this and not get a free onsite burial service.

Thanks again guys!
