[@Queenlettadavis777]

Mt husband a coal miner and I'm constantly praying for his safe return. I tell him all the time it's other safety jobs out there they won't put such worry and fear on my heart and his family. He knows, he loves it, he craves it, and says think of the gold mine of it idcidcidc its other gold mines also. Prayers to all coal miners. May God keep a hedge of protection all around you guys muah.

Moved over to Australia from New Zealand and after obtsining my Standard 11 through Coaltrain i was lucky enougn to have a Full tim maximum term job offer through Undamine which I accepted straight away. I am heading to Aquila mine near Middlemount cental QLD as part of the secondary support project. Looking forward to working within this industry as well as creating a better lifestyle for my wife and I. Any advice is welcomed

I do not agree with this video, maybe in some places the first job you learn is the Roof bolter. But a in a lot of places you learn what ever they put you on

[@dumdiversaspapalbull1452]

Yeah, the first thing we learned to operate was a curtain. 😂😂😂 But I bidded on electrician trainee in the middle of my 45 days. I had been at the training center for the first two weeks of my employment, and they had a board with 30 fatalities on it. Nine of them were bolters. I said to myself, “ I don’t know what a roofbolter is, but I don’t want nothing to do with one of them.”

I can just smell the mice around the power center and hear the car driver that’s not up at the miner snoring outby the last open.

I lucked up when I was young and didn’t have much experience and got on with Consol Energy. They sent me to a mine they operated named Beaver Gap. They tried and mostly did run in seam. We would cut 55’’ in the belt entry so the pigs would clear. I seen entries get so low that one night me and my buddy wedged out a low coal pinner and had to get the miner man which was cutting with a Dash O Eimco to pull us out. I say all that to say this, we had a boss that when he would take his battery ride across the section doing his pre-shift or on-shift making the faces if he seen a rat he would catch it and spray paint it whatever color he had that night for running centers and he would hide and catch us or the other bolt crew backing out of a place we just finished and throw that rat on top of whoever was teaming the drill from the deck. You would be backing out trying not to tear your curtain out as you came and all of a sudden you would see either a line green or bright orange rat!! I’m not talking about the little mice you usually see, we were way back in there and these things were the size of house cats. Or at least that’s how big they looked coming at you while your laying sideways tramming a drill in reverse!! 😂😂😂

@@Brando-UK fortunately, I never had to crawl like that, other than on the longwall. With 50#s of tools strapped to my back, and shields ( I think you all call them chocks) that hadn’t been outside for 13 panels. I do not miss any of it. Other than being young enough to be able to do it.

[@Brando-UK]

@@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 I been up to a longwall section a handful of times. I’m not sure what a chock is. The UK in my name comes from the University of Kentucky. I worked at a Longwall mines in Brookwood Alabama. What I didn’t like about the wall was in the colder months that place would freeze you to death there was so much air coming across the face. I can’t remember for sure how much exactly but I think it was over 100,000 cubic foot per minute.

The roofbolter is NOT the first machine a new miner learns to operate. I was a roofbolter operator for many years and whenever they want to train someone on that machine they pick a seasoned miner with experience 99.9 percent of the time. The bolter operator must be able to study the roof conditions and constantly adjust what he or she is doing. Everyone's safety on the crew depends on the bolter operator doing a good job. So please stop letting people that learned all they know about coal mining from books decide what jobs people get picked for and when they do the picking! Honestly, the roofbolter machine is usually the last machine a miner learns to operate. After he or she has learned many or most of the other operator positions in the mine.

[@shelbybrock7394]

Thank you for the information

[@davidschick6951]

That makes sense. A brand-new miner might not recognize good versus bad roof conditions.

[@Brando-UK]

@@davidschick6951that’s true and what brewer said up there is mostly true as well. It’s according to what part of the country you are in, if the mine is Union or non-union, a lot of it depends on what is needed on the section and at the mine as a whole. I have worked at quite a few mines. Mostly non Union until 2016 and went to Alabama and took a section foreman job at Warrior. The only thing that is a given at every mine is that you will definitely see something different than at the last place you worked.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

[@wingzero7316]

Your God sacrificed himself to himself inorder to forgive humanity, why did your god go thrugh Was your God unable to just simply forgive humanity? If so than your God is not all powerful and perfect for having limitations in forgiveness. Also Satan never lied to Adam and Eve,he told them the truth about about the forbidden fruit. It was your God who created Adam and eve to not no the differences between good and evil aka right from wrong in the 1st place. Another thing Satan never murdered anyone in the bible and your God has committed genocide like the flood for, among many other examples of your God killing people in bible.
