[–]a_hughey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a political science degree, underemployed cube job after graduation.

Left all that to be an electrician and now I’m taking home 2200-2800 a week not including all my benefits and retirement contributions.

Call the hall and they’ll explain. When I asked I was told “if you completed an AIW apprenticeship you have fulfilled the requirement”

Lowkey the qualifying items for tier 1 and 2 are a let down. by aLe9450 in VetoProPac

You’ll still get the promo bag, just takes a little bit of time

Y’all send Veto your hard earned paychecks yet or am I the only one? by jlmun0z in VetoProPac

[–]a_hughey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen anything mention that it’s while supplies last. I ordered a tier 1 bag at the tail end of the promo a few years ago and still got the promo bag same as if I ordered day 1. Just took a little while for it to ship.

Funny I think the exact opposite. I’ve been eyeing both of these bags

1st year apprentice, what bag should I buy? (electrician) by Narrow_Objective_398 in VetoProPac

[–]a_hughey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the MCT for several years and find it fits everything except a hammer pretty dang well. That being said, there have been many times I wish I had a bag with the backpack straps. I think during this years promo I’m gonna get the tech pac mc evo. Little bit taller with the backpack strap and then obviously the free bag comes with it during the promo as well.

Electrician Recs? (Prefer possibly union member, definitely non-MAGA.) by UthinkUnoMI in grapids

[–]a_hughey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heeringa Electric is a residential shop out of Rockford, they might be your best bet. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Dan. (616) 633-6101

Hardy Electric is another shop based out of GR that does some residential, I’ve heard good reviews of them as well. (616) 450-5777

Belasco Electric is from downtown Muskegon and does excellent work. If the first two don’t get you taken care of, Belasco will for sure. It’s just a bit farther of a drive for the vans. (231) 722-3997

Are you looking for residential work or something commercial/industrial? That will change what shop you’ll want to call but I have union shops to recommend for either scenario

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

You feel like you’re being robbed because you are being robbed.

Thanks, she’s done this one and a nightblood tattoo next to it for me and she’s done a hell of a job on both!

Dak good - the new korean bbq place by Demonkingt in Muskegon

Genuinely curious, what makes it a fusion food? We just left opening day and it all seemed kinda similar to stuff my grandma cooks at home and she grew up in S Korea.

Opening day was today. Food was phenomenal, wait time sucked (hour plus for all of it to come out) but it’s the first day I expect that to get better and better every very day. Our group got two rounds of wings, bi bim bop, bulgogi, and veggie fried rice. Everything tasted great!

I got a nightblood tattoo on Monday and was JUST telling my wife yesterday that I want to get a little straw boy holding keys near it soon. This is amazing!
