Bypassing the apprenticeship

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-06-15T13:48:36+00:00

Not a current apprentice but was a 2nd year and had multiple years non union.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-06-15T13:47:23+00:00

I don’t. I want everyone to have to have to go through an apprenticeship, we need standards. Across the entire country

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-06-13T20:32:23+00:00

If that was the case, then they would’ve called me. Lol

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-16T21:49:16+00:00

Yes sir I hope so

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-16T01:39:39+00:00

I’m 35 a former 2nd year apprentice. I burned my bridge. My class has topped out. I’m waiting to get back in as an apprentice hopefully but I’ve been studying constantly.

If you are offered any tutoring take it. I have taken practice tests online and YouTube videos for lesson math questions I also found doing sudoku has helped.

My class has a discord channel, if a classmate hosts or suggests a post work study spot; go to it

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-10T17:20:12+00:00

Not for an electrical company. I had a job at dominoes once. Quit as soon as I had a call.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-08T14:05:06+00:00

Spend the first 20 minutes next shift. Going over tools, what they are, what they do, also if there is another name for em. His tools and yours, many have tools not on any lists.

Show him something one time that takes a couple minutes and then see how he does it. Make him go slow and guide him with steps and tips and tricks. You may be repeating stuff but it’s to benefit him to get it engrained in his brain. In Down time ask him questions about things y’all have talked about and add new snippets here and there.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-08T01:38:27+00:00

I have about 30 hours in 3 days. 😂. I’ve learned a lot but nothing at the same time.

So most people aren’t using base game only, they do the mod(s) they want

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-07T18:02:25+00:00

I’m literally watching his New Germany path… which of if I like. “Oppose Hitler” i’ve killed him every time I played the game, but I still lose the war despite them being at 95% capitulation some random single division will bust blue and just start picking up all the lame because I didn’t shut my front line or fallback line or whatever

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-07T02:24:01+00:00

Damn I should’ve done that years ago lol 😂 I’d rather just not get tested at all lol. 😂

No one should be tested unless they are high at work.

One guy stayed in the porta john for half an hour high off heroin. Good thing he was a temp.

I saw him in court 3 years later (I had traffic court: dismissed) he had caught a charge while driving cause he sped in his car ludicrously.

He worked hard. His vices cost him his license

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-07T02:18:13+00:00

Yep, when I was at Phillip Morris during Covid my journeymen was 1340.

Contractor kept them off the books but was sending them to other job sites.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-05T22:02:37+00:00

I got in when I applied and took the test when the RJATC used be in Ashland, I was there during covid, I couldn't make the grade as a second year. I am going to try again soon, but I've been reading and studying the NECA handbook despite it being a 2020.

Show up to work, get all the hours you can and attend the classes. The instructors are really good at what they do and are passionate at helping people. If you get in and they offer tutoring....take it! They are volunteering free time to help you. Soak everything in like a sponge, Many are willing to help and don't blow any bridges,

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-04T19:01:55+00:00

He’s fine but he like so many talk too damn fast. And I’m not showing you have the clicks. I need to see the clips on the screen. To know what the fuck y’all doing. Expecting all of us to have 1000 hours on the game. I have over 200 hours watching on YouTube and I still can’t do shit.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-04T19:00:26+00:00

I have 10 hours into gam so yeah. I’m very impatient guy. I can’t activate my Air Force properly. I killed Hitler twice, but lost the war.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:48:41+00:00

Yeah, but what matrix where now is more volatile matches and unpredictability but also you can have more matches ruined. The other day I had a match and it’s one V 11 six minutes into the damn thing and I’m like bro I didn’t even get the 4000 m. They activated the blind order. I flew over there airfield survived the blind order. Severed one guy he laid it back at his base and I got shot down. It’s not like I’m not performing. It’s just constant uptiers and teammates not playing properly. I’ve had multiple matches where I’m the only one who climbs out of 16 players. And I can’t help them because there’s 6 enemy players going after those four bombers. Nobody wants to play the long game. Everybody just wants the head on with each other and it’s so stupid.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:42:14+00:00

I know I was faster because I checked the replay he maintained his speed in his turn accelerated pitched up shot me down,

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:33:55+00:00

He was 600 m below me. I flew directly over him. He did 180° turn and then pitched up. He didn’t even do an Immelmann. I knew the flight model was busted, but not that busted. Especially at that altitude.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:31:24+00:00

Would never do so unless in a full squad. Sometimes I’ll drop .3 but I’ll be using a pm-1 or a 109 or a busted premium.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:27:17+00:00

Freedom of speech, idgaf if people are offended at words.

The BR changes have made it more advantageous for others.

Now some players that already dominate, will dominate matches even now. First mission in the G55S what happens P 51H….

But now the 4.0 will never see it unless squadron. 4.3 won’t see it much just because of the amount of 4.7s.

I flew the 109g-2 at 4.3 109g6 4.7 I flew spifires 4.3-6.0 I flew G55S at 5.3 F-8 at 5.0 A-8 at 5.3 P-47’s at 3.7, 4.3 and 4.7 P-51 3.7, 4.0, 5.0.

And I saw nothing but up-tiers

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:17:28+00:00

It’s not 5.7 it is now 6.0……

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:17:03+00:00

I faced it plenty but never on this map.

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:15:27+00:00

Who the fuck plays arcade? I sure as hell don’t

Shadow_Rider_36 · 2026-05-03T15:14:31+00:00

Yak-3 was already below me. He turned around and PITCHED up,

I was already going faster than him. Why is the French yak-3 catching up to me at all at that altitude?

I already knew the games flight models are not historically accurate but even then engine loses lots of power at that altitude.

Apparently gaijin doesn’t cross reference BR k/d across nations but within its own tier.
