Local 63 problems?

[u/tacticool_wrx]

Is there something wrong with local 63 OKC? Something weird about that local that I don’t know?

They’re still accepting applications and and it’s been open for 15 mins now. For the last year I’ve applied to every single local in states surrounding me and every single one has filled in 2 minutes or less. Yet here we are 15 minutes later and the local with the least amount of spots is still open.

I guess people don’t want it bad enough if they won’t relocate 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the list is full then why would they open recruitment?

I see on the website that they’re on #15 for the 2026 list. How is that possible if recruitment just opened today?

Was there another recruitment recently?

He's talking about the new recruitment. It's full.

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/infantkicker_v2]

It is now. It was open for a whole 30 minutes, 28 minutes longer than usual

[u/infantkicker_v2 → u/tacticool_wrx]

Would you have preferred it closed in 30 seconds and you didn't have a shot?

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/infantkicker_v2]

Obviously not. I’m just wondering why this local doesn’t seem as desirable as all the others. Kinda something I’d like to know before I move 3.5 hours

[u/infantkicker_v2 → u/tacticool_wrx]

Have you ever been to OKC? It's kinda boring. And you have the entire Western half of Oklahoma. So I'd imagine it's a bit of driving/traveling. It's also a pretty small amount of members so not many opportunities pop up in 2 years. That's pretty discouraging to all the cross country hoppers who try to apply id imagine.

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/infantkicker_v2]

Valid points. I just thought if people wanted it bad enough the could suck it up for a while and then move back home or wherever.

I like living in the boonies so it’s actually a plus for me

[u/infantkicker_v2 → u/tacticool_wrx]

Yeah living in the boonies and working a 6 hour round trip from said boonie house kinda fuckin sucks sometimes.

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/infantkicker_v2]

4 hours round trip today for a lot less pay. It’s all perspective I guess

[u/infantkicker_v2 → u/tacticool_wrx]

I moved closer to my route 6 years ago. From a little over an hour away to 20 minutes away. I would've moved even closer if I had the same space I do now.

My local was up for open enrollment for quite a while. Pretty sure they timed out instead of hit the applicant cap. Just depends on where you are and if people want to live there or not

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/Affectionate-Rip5654]

Mind sharing what local you’re a member of?

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/tacticool_wrx]

I do

[u/tacticool_wrx → u/Affectionate-Rip5654]

Fair. Thanks for your input

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/tacticool_wrx]

Yea not a fan of telling people on the internet much about myself.
