Is there an age cutoff for starting any of these programs?

So, how did boot camp go? I'm sure you're out working now. Who are you working for?Well, I was starting to think that I would need to reinterview (I'd be eligible to do so in October), especially with the IBEW taking another round of applicants this past month, but I'm finally off to boot camp the 17th of September.

I'm also an electrician. I work for EC at Intel doing tool install. I'm a JW, but I mostly do low voltage work like fire alarm, controls, and telecom. It's having those extra skills that has kept me employed thru slow times.
IBEW also stand for I've Been Every Where because having an electrical license can allow you to travel for work if you want.

I can be. Depends on the day. Sometimes it can mean both.And all this time I thought it was "I block every walkway"
October 1st was my first day on the job for Rosendin. I'm at their pre-fab shop right now, but I'm sure I'll be out at Intel soon enough.
Was there any prep work that you did before being accepted? By prep work I mean classes or certifications, etc.?

Fractions.....? I cannot remember how to divide nor multiply them. I can convert to decimal inch, mostly in my head.
What type of math does the electrical world use? Algebra might take some serious afternoons to get back to speed.
Is there any andst towards former/retired military in the IBEW that you have witnessed?

Good to hear the trades doing well. That union work pays well, but the travel is something else. I work part time for my son who is a plumbing contractor in Central Oregon. We are looking to hire a another journeyman plumber early next year and are recruiting out of state right now, looking to pay above scale and with relocation assistance
There are a ton of plumbers and electricians working out at Facebook in Prineville making huge bank. But that work will run out eventually and they will have to move on to stay union. The trades are the best place to be now, the money is good and the work steady.
That's the way of things. It's always an up and down. It's possible though to always be employed. It helps if you're located in a big market, of course.
