So green I am not even employed in the trade....

Start my JATC, Volta class on 6-12-10 http://www.nwlinejatc.com/templates/template4/?page=7

I have been saving money, talking to every person that will speak with me in the trade, working out, reading up on http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ndbook&x=0&y=0 and taking night classes in math for awhile now.

Put on my new spurs today and went up for the first time. I now know that this is for me..... wet, rainy, and just as fun as it was when I used to climb up to the tops of those old fir trees when I was eleven...

journyman lineman from Missouri valley Jatc. Started out of Local 2,
Topped out in Jan 2003. Have done nothing but travel since. My ticket these days is out of 1393. But do to the the fact that Indiana is a right to work state means old Chris here has to travel. Have been out of 47 for about 5 years now. Praying to the good lord above to send me home to hook some poles. All in do time I guess. God bless you brothers and remember when its all said and done we do share a common thread wether we agree or not.
