Best of luck Brandon. I just took the test at work one for local 440 yesterday. It was a trip.

Best of luck to you!
I got a letter a couple weeks ago saying my score this year didn't meet the requirements and I would have to start over to be considered again.

I look forward to learning how to set the units and learn the metal work that goes with it.

Do you mean traveling more or just general tasks that require you to move around a lot?

Service requires a self starting do it on the run mentality.
Fitters are a bit more laid back and like the 2 year projects.

I would loose my mind being a fitter.
I ran a few miles of pipe in my time with the fitters and it is an experience we all need to have.

Job update
Been an install helper and have learned so much over the past 3 weeks school just can't prepare you for.
Not sure how it is everywhere but the helpers here work on the outside unit then when finished go inside and help out in there.

Can't complain to much about the job. I'm not use to working the hours I am working but the pay check is pretty nice compared to what I was making
