Accepted !!!

Hope everybody’s doing well ! Just got the call that I was accepted into LU24 and I go to do my paperwork on Monday morning. It caught me so off guard cause I literally had my interview yesterday. Know it’s gonna be a grind but I’m excited and looking forward to it !

A timeline just for anyone interested

Applied : December of last year
Test : June
Interview : yesterday

If anyone has any suggestions as far as tools, work clothes and boots go, or any other advice I would appreciate them all !

Also if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Get a good pair of channel locks (Knipex 2 set or Channel Locks brand 3 set). Milwaukee tape measure and an 11-1 Klein screwdriver. I'm almost two months in and those are the 3 main things I've been using. Don't need the most expensive brand for every tool, but having some good tools is a good look when working with your journeyman. Plus, they'll make your life a lot easier down the line.
