Lmao

You did conceal it right

Insurance buys you a new car

Just apply! Availability is gonna depend on your local, I know mine has doubled its class size over the last few years. We’re in high demand and young folks have realized it. But if he can show up, pay attention, and piss clean im sure he’ll do fine.

Anything he can learn about basic electrical theory will definitely help, but its not strictly necessary. They’ll teach him everything he needs to know. Still, being familiar with stuff like Ohm’s Law wont hurt with the interview.

I believe the classes at my local start in September so it may take a while, but if he’s patient its worth it. The union benefits are amazing, he’ll be set for life and able to work pretty much anywhere he wants.

Meanwhile, if he can find a job as a helper he’ll get valuable experience. Won’t be a well-paying job, he’ll be doing a lot of grunt work (up to and including literal ditch-digging) but itll give him a view of life outside the union and appreciate the IBEW more with any luck. He’ll need some basic hand tools to start with (11-in-1 screwdriver, impact driver, lineman pliers, wire strippers, diagonal cutters, sharpie/pencil, razor knife and tape measure), but id suggest avoiding buying more power tools until he knows if hell be union or not. If he is, theyll provide them. If not, itll depend on his company. But a helper/apprentice shouldn’t worry about anything beyond a drill for a few years.

Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions and ill do my best to answer. Ive been in the trade about a decade and im self-employed currently.

Electrician in NA, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) has an apprenticeship program which is generally considered excellent. I doubt youd find much better training.

Obligatory Ishtar

I knew one guy for years who swore up and down it was the best thing he’d seen in ages. Loved that movie. But he was also a troll with really questionable taste so I just ignored it.

But I see it get brought up like this fairly frequently so unless you’re all his puppets maybe ill watch it.

Dammit we do timeline order and you know what that means

It’s been a long road…

Thats where patterns repeat. It’s just for convenience, an 8th note is an 8th note no matter the signature but its how you count the beats. If a piece is in 3/4 the phrases will feel different from 4/4. So, if youre sight reading, it makes it easier to predict when phrases begin and end, when to come in off rests, etc.

I hope that helps somehow lol.

FFIX never got enough love.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who remembers Day of Defeat. Hands down my favorite WWII shooter back in the day.

Fr there were very few “good” ones back in the day.
