Atta-boy, puddle-pusher!
Thanks gents. @oneshot86 literally texted me while I was in the middle of a weld pass.
My Ironworkers Local has a massive project going and needed additional welders that could pass "Unlimited" Flux Core groove overhead and vertical (3G and 4G on 1" plate) so they opened their books.
I was one of only a few guys that managed to pass and earned my way in. I'm jumped right onto night shift working six-12's.
Most of my interaction with "Union culture" was up north, where the politics and BS can be shitty at times. I am fucking amazed at how badass my crew is. These sonsabitches work harder than any group of men I've ever worked with and they are GOOD.
I am learning tons, making a good wage, working my ass off, and having a blast (at 100+ feet in the air) I'm really hoping this ends up being the job I retire from if my body holds out.

Good luck Boogey . I have no greater respect than I do for a man that grabs his own boot straps and makes it happen . Opportunity does not knock and sometimes doors need to be kicked down . To borrow the line from Oneshot , you sir are a Stud .
thats so fucking cool dude
Yay
P.S. - Call me sometime

Keep it up until your body starts telling you to knock it off. Then, get your CWI, and a less physical job. Or look into robotics. They'll never replace the guys hanging high stuff, but it beats having a real job ?.
Excellent news sir!!
Congrats.
Congrats.
I worked out of an Ironworkers local for several years. I spent my time either welding or running work at a nuclear facility. It was a pretty good gig, just benefited me and my family more to take a company position at the facility and leave the union.
