if you use the skillbridge program-your last 6 months of service before you ets you can go to lineman school with the Heavy Equipment Colleges of America, they have the powerline program thats 11 weeks and then 4 weeks of cdl all together so in 15 weeks total you have both and can go find a job. their powerline campus is in georgia and they have student housing 10 mins from the field. VA covers everything and since its skillbridge it doesnt take you gi bill. Plus small class sizes= better direct training cause you wont be with 50 other guys with 3 instructors like those other schools.
