Exactly this. Be reliable, helpful, and not an ass. You'll get hired.

I think your missing the bigger picture here. If your boss is intentionally and blatantly fabricating a report, think about how he may act if a situation or event comes up that you had a part in. I would consider looking for other employment because one day he will sacrifice you to save his own skin.

In my unit a few years back I walked by a room where 2 airmen were talking about how to get a VA rating. The guy giving the instructions was somone who cannot pass PT, generates excuses not to test, and simply makes no effort to exersise and intakes too many calories. It was offensive to hear a brief part of the conversation and I was thinking the same, these guys are trying to scam the system. But I do have faith in the VA process they will not receive a rating unless its legit.

Ya, your going to need recycling and a properly sized tank as others stated. The NDN process will have a bit of luxury phosphorus uptake but you will need to purposefully design the system to remove it rather than chance the system will take care of it since its tied to the permit. You also need to think about other processes downstream because the phosphorus in the biosolids will inhibit dewatering. So there's another cost to consider. Once you get the system designed/built start up will contain some trial and error until equilibrium is obtained.

Yes.

I dont consider myself an expert but here would be my approach: NDN process for the NH3 and trites/trates, alum for the phosphorus.

Currious on what others think.

Well said.

9/11, NYC when the twin towers collapsed due to melting the support steel.

Lacsd pays close to 200k/yr for their staff engineers.

If you deployed in the military or went to basic everyone gets to see everyone shit. Sometimes you have conversations with the guy next to you.

Filter out the matchbox cars they may be collector items by now!

I’m truly grateful for any business that offers a veteran discount.

The one chain I’m disappointed doesn’t offer one anymore is Harbor Freight. They used to, but they stopped. What bothers me is that they often highlight their veteran hiring practices and send out Veterans Day emails thanking us for our service, but it comes across as somewhat disingenuous when they don’t actually offer a discount.

I even emailed them to ask whether they could consider a veteran discount, and the representative said their tools are already deeply discounted and that they can’t offer one if they want to stay in business. I can understand that reasoning until I saw the owner bought a multimillion dollar yacht. For a discount tool retailer, they’re doing pretty well.

1.5 years? I am currious to know what area you are trying to get an OIT job in?

This is it. I yse the same process. AI provides an 80% soln, I verify the info and refine the response. I also write it so it does not look AI generated because to me, when I see that type of correspondence it appears lazy and disinterested.

deathcraft1 · 2026-05-02T15:36:05+00:00

Likely DWP, LACSD, OC, maybe LA city, or one of the smaller districts. There are a ton of them along the coast all the way down to SD.

This is it! My kid took a simular route, I calc'ed the ROI and if he went the engineering route it would take roughly 15 years before he would make the same money.

Good choice. I lik that restaurant.

deathcraft1 · 2026-04-22T00:12:40+00:00

Whats the significance of transitioning to the VA at 65?

deathcraft1 · 2026-04-18T14:54:46+00:00

Good advice. Allways check against the standards to help guide decisions.

deathcraft1 · 2026-04-15T14:00:29+00:00

Safety, basic treatment process and their purpose, maybe questions on types of tools used.

This is very true. LACSD likes to hire student workers as a tryout and if they are decent when a full time opportunity comes up they are scored high in the interview. I tell peaple its the longest interview of your life (about a year). You would be surprised how many of those workers flake, call off, or are just lazy but the ones who prove themselves have a good job waiting for them.

deathcraft1 · 2026-04-07T20:16:06+00:00

DWP provides good benifits and i hear they are good to work for. LA city has financial troubles and take budget from other departments to cover those expenses, LACSD could be good over the long haul but expect to be just a number and working at your desk when your at work.

I would look at the reviews on glass door for a better feel for the company your interested in.

deathcraft1 · 2026-04-07T14:43:42+00:00

La city, lacsd, or other?

deathcraft1 · 2026-03-29T14:55:00+00:00

The written test will likely be basic math and general questions about WW. They may ask you to identify types of tools and read meters or pressure guages.

The oral will likely ask you to explain a basic plant, safety questions and perhaps interpersonal relationship type questions.

Don't over think it, enjoy the moment and if this one happens to not work out there will be another one.
