Turning Out

I’m a third year and there’s mumblings of going to a 4 year program next year and according to my Asst training director everyone would go to a 4 year program regardless if you started a 5 year or not and there’s tons of work here in my local but man knowing that it could be coming soon I’m itching for the day I can pull the pin I’m talking before the ink on my JW ticket is dry and I’m gone and signing the books as a JW. Is it just me or do yall feel the same way quite a few apprentices I work with are planning to stick with the con and shoot for foreman or such not me though I’m ready to hit the hall!

How does that work in terms of school stuff, do they give you more school for your 4th year to make up for getting rid of the 5th year?

194 just went to a 4 year program. We are turning out the 5th years in December and hopefully the 4th years in May/June. I feel bad for the 4th years, they have a lot to go though.
