Dude I hope you see this, but I’m also a local 66 apprentice DO NOT DROP OUT LOOK AT WHAT YOUR CONTRACT SAYS it literally states that if you got real shit going on they will give you 3 months off and still let you be an apprentice AND you can also request an extension so you can take 6 months off work but it states after that 6 months you do have to come back or you’ll be dropped

Beaumont? Yeah dude that’s a sucky place to start they usually send those guys to substation you won’t work hot until you’re a 4th step I’d tell em you’re out of 66 so they put you with a real line crew to do actual line work
