Nalu Rash Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Little Update: Still waiting to hear from the IBEW. In the meantime, I went ahead and applied for the Carpenters Union as well. I took the test (passed with a 100%, something I have never done before lol) and passed the interview. Now I go back for a 3 day screening to weed out the guys that just want a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalu Rash Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yesterday was the first day of the Carpenters Union preselection screening. We basically carried lumber and buckets of water all day. A few guys quit. Ill try and take more pics today.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalu Rash Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for all the good wishes crew. You guys are the best. The 3 day screening was pretty tough. More than half the guys quit. I made it and ill be getting indentured with the carpenters union next week tuesday. I also found out that i passed the electricians exam. Ill be going in for an interview in december for that. Here are some pics that i managed to sneek on my lunchSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks like a really nice training center. The heels on the other hand, DANG BRO! What kind of boots and socks do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 OUCH!!! It will all be worth it at the end bro keep up the great work man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think I would chose electrical over carpentry any day. Both jobs are physical but I do think electrical is easier on the body compared to carpentry they expect you to wrestle 3/4" 4x8 plywood like nothing This is just me thinking though.

Nalu Rash Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks like a really nice training center. The heels on the other hand, DANG BRO! What kind of boots and socks do you have?The training center is really nice. The wood shop has all top of the line tools. Im talking SawStop and Powermatic stuff.I have Timberland Pitboss shoes. Ive had them for 4 years and they are broken in well. Its just that we did a lot of running and walking during the training, something that my boots werent designed for. I had cheap socks that escalated the problem.If anyone has a recommendation for work boots or shoes, im all ears. Im thinking of getting some better socks, been looking at Carhartt. I know that Dan and Eric reviewed some shoes in the past, ill have to find that video again. Peace out crewSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't know how they would be for work but I wear Smartwool and Balega socks for running. They wick moisture well and help me a lot with blisters on high mile runs. I never really thought about them for work boots but the taller smartwools might be nice. Good luck brother!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I am a fan of Carharrt and redwing socks. As far as boots I was a redwing guy for years. I switched to Thorogood boots about 4 yrs ago and they are awesome. Lightweight and tough as nails. Also there is a discount for union members.
