Joining him on this panel is Robbie Foxen, Executive Director Missouri Valley Line Constructors Apprenticeship, David Ball, Quanta Services Director Quanta Electrical Line Worker Program, Kevin Castle, American Line Builders Area Joint Apprenticeship, and Jason Iannelli, Electrical Training Alliance Director of Outside Curriculum.
You can also find this discussion in audio form on Powerline Podcast. Powerline Podcast is found on all podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcast.
I've just applied thru your program. This is a great podcast and a massive opportunity for veterans. I will be sharing this with fellow veterans. I hope you all can expand on this program so that more and more service members and veterans can have a shot at a rewarding career. I look forward to being a lineman!
I was not an EM in the Navy, I was an MM working in the boiler rooms, engine rooms, and other areas as an A-Ganger. I would have loved to know this trade was a real possibility thirty years ago. I have been telling young guys for years to look to the "Trades" if they want a steady professional career.
I’m not sure if you guys have implemented this into SFL tap but I never knew about this while I was transitioning into civilian life. A lot of guys would love to do it, they just don’t know anything about it or never hear of it.
I'm glad I was able to find this since I'm about to start SFL tap
I got out during COVID-19 so there was no sfl-tap 🤡 feeling lost
This is a great video. Thanks guys
Great episodes. Power is more than V x I 😀👍🏼 ⚡️
I did 10 years in the Navy as a carpenter and wanting to get into the lineman trade. Are there more hurdles to overcome as a female in this field?
I wish I remembered her username but I came across a womane lineman on tik tok that did a short Q&A on this. It basically came down to her working smarter instead of relying on brute force like most of the young apprentices do. I’ve came across a couple of them on tik tok, wouldn’t be a bad place to look.
Not anymore than men do. Class A CDL is your golden ticket. Working on getting mine now. Best of luck to you 👍
Hi I have a year left in the navy and I think lineman is what I want to get into when I get out. I am going to apply for a lineman skill bridge in North Carolina as soon as August 1st hits. Do you think it would be better to do lineman skill bridge or a skill bridge that will give me my CDL? What are some steps I can take to make this become a reality instead of a dream
I’ll be 42 when I retire from active duty. Will my age be a limitation for me as an apprentice? Assuming I am in good health…
Hunter, I am 42 now and currently attending this program. If you are in shape you will be fine. More importantly then strength is flexibility and endurance.
Take your retirement and VA check and enjoy your life. Imagine being 35 and enlisting, same this as starting fresh doing line work at age 42.
36 when I started. Army vet . 56 y.o. now still climbing ( kinda lol) . Most strength is mental .
@@coast1249 I will be attending this course this upcoming spring, I have some questions. Do you have instagram or somewhere I can message you ??
Thank god someone finally said power is V*I. Lol

Being a lineman is not for everyone, now a days being a lineman is like being an engineer, one wrong move and your going to meet Jesus in person or being disabled for the rest of your life.... Underground switchs, cables and transformers are very serious business.... Not only that poison gas can be an issue in some underground vault too...its takes many years of training to become full service lineman... Now when you get into substation work that whole different story....
The lineman field is predominantly white, would you say it’s a racist field? If (that’s a big if) blacks do get hired they get paid less.
Stop pulling the race card, everybody in the IBEW gets paid the same. And it's mostly Mexicans in California.
@@QuadropheniacTed shut the hell up
@Planet Star Found the guy that wasted his GI Bill on a liberal arts degree.
@@QuadropheniacTed Found the guy that has two first names as a full name. “Stop pulling the race card” only a privileged pink man would make a comment soo ignorant & biased to shade the fact that you people reap the benefits of over 400 yrs of slavery and oppression, till this very day. The sun is your enemy remember that.
@Planet Star Now you're trying to bait a racist comment. You must have been a joy to work with.
