[@dennisguillen5414]

Love your content man. I'm getting ready to go to school to be a turbine tech soon. Appreciate all the info you share it's really helpful. God bless

[@victorsaenz9452]

I was a struggling vet and said screw it I’m leaving home again for a new career for a wind school. Now I’m about to graduate and I have a job offer for a telecom company and nextera best career decision of my life! The culture and type of individuals make this appealing!

[@CptNogg]

Nextera is a great company bro! stick with it!

Hi, it feels so good to warch your videos,,,, i landed today to your channel and watched all your videos, you're awesome, keep the good work up, i am going to join as a windturbine technicain on 1 December in sweden... i hope for the best...

[@allangel2865]

[@dyske-]

Hey, thanks for putting out these videos. Could you tell me about any trainings that your company provided if any or any additional trainings that you wish you had? Take care.

[@MrElijahwatts]

Congrats man Im going for wind turbine tech certification. Im done working in the Automotive Industry want something different.

[@bobducksplayz5251]

So how would you get into the offshore windmills not the land ones

[@chachobazan]

Love to see it!!! I’m 4 months into wind.

[@CptNogg]

If you made it 4 months you can make it as long as you want!! Stack that wind money!!

[@liamsnow4642]

If you don't mind me asking, are you a travel technician or stationary? And how is the moola lookin? Don't have to be specific with numbers but is it worth getting in to?

[@chachobazan]

[@LifeLongAquatics]

Hey man. I'm thinking of going to school to be a turbine technician as I transition from the marines. I happened to stumble across your page trying to do some more research and I wanna know your opinions if your still doing it.

[@danielgarza5218]

Are you still working in the wind turbine industry? I'm fixing to get into it but having second guesses if I should. I currently work in the oilfield and I'm pretty much tired of getting laid off all the time. Just worried about the major pay cut I'm going to get getting into this industry. Could you reply when you have a chance. Thanks!!!

[@leightonlangford7211]

Hey man you are doing great .. watching your vid when u were driving to school. I can’t wait to start .. ? My trainer stated the blade repair was more seasonal ( can’t do repairs in cold and snow climate) I really want to get into repair and line work ?.. .. thanks for all you do

[@SamoraC]

Don't go into blades. They will lay you off as quick as you got hired. Wind tech is where it's at. No matter the gig. Blade repair companies are using, under qualified wind techs to fill contracts. 😳

[@CptNogg]

@@SamoraC most companies are using under qualified techs, or completely incompetent techs if I'm being honest. "but i gotta replace that lightning card, I'm going in" Words I've spoken,

[@bel.z.1130]

Are you still in the industry?

[@humildejerick]

Have a great thanksgiving with your family and friends! Thank you for making time creating videos about wind turbine tech. I am waiting for my packet to get approved and go to the course 31Jan2022! I am getting out the U.S. ARMY soon and I am more than excited to get into this industry.

[@JunieTime]

Great videos man for people thinking of coming into the industry. Would be great if you could come back and do a Q and A. I know it would help out a lot of people. Hope all is well 👍

[@hugostiglitz6398]

Bro, hope you're doing okay. How about an update video? How's it going as a Wind Turbine Tech turning out?

[@ethane7733]

What is the pay scale like for techs? On the internet they say average is 50k. Is this true?

[@thestockexplorer]

I’m going to get a tour of a school in Orlando. I’m really excited to possibly have a chance to go there

[@Krisspbacon]

the Siemens one? how was it

[@liamsnow4642]

Anyone know about Deutsche Windtechnik? Are they any good?

[@JustMusic75]

Are you coming back to youtube? Is the jab still required at this point?

Where are you know? Update video*

[@danielcook9869]

I'm looking to start as soon as possible in March in Vancouver would you say that the debt is worth it

[@CptNogg]

you will make alot of money but personally if you are young. NO start with a company, learn to climb, decide if you wanna keep doing it and keep climbing to better companies

[@liamsnow4642]

@@CptNogg Hey man how's it goin? I talked to you in a another person's comment thread. I've got another question: I've been working for this company now for 6 weeks, when is a good time to move to another company?

[@CptNogg]

@@liamsnow4642 hey, it's going good, think I've decided to go back on the road, it's hard not making that wind money. Congrats on making it 6 weeks I figure if you make it a month you can make it a year! I would try to stick it out for 6 months atleast before moving on but as much as techs are in demand it's not hard to find another company

[@liamsnow4642]

@@CptNogg Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do (sorry for assuming you're a man, i should be ashamed..) I appreciate the info/advice! I'm lovin the job, so a year will be a breeze! That per diem is lovely too haha. Would you be willing to tell me which company you work for? If not, no worries. Also one more question if you don't mind, and this one's a bit of stretch. There's a farm in Washington state, it's called 'Skookumchuck Wind Facility'. Do you happen to know who services the turbines there? I know Southern Power owns the farm, but I don't know who services the towers. Thanks again!

[@CptNogg]

@@liamsnow4642 no snow flaks here no worrie. Currently unemployed but I have a couple companies I can go back to. As for service in Washington I can't say for sure. What platform? If vestas or Siemens maybe airways. Which is a great starter company for service. Top notch training, paid travel, ect

[@brendanhill6067]

Are you still doing this?

[@ZEROMARS22]

~ have you heard if skyclimber is a good company to start up with? are you aware of them?

[@Lotus_IX]

How often do you get drug tested in this industry?

[@DirtyDanh]

Just wondering how the travel works, do they normally pay for your flight/ rental car to the job site? Also on your week off do they pay for you flight to go back home or how does that work. Doing a class in January hoping to get a job late april after my sisters wedding.

[@SamoraC]

Ya they pay for travel. Unless it's a shit company like alpha Offshore. Flights and travel should be covered. I have flown all around the country on companies dime. If they fly you of course they have to get you a rental. And will probably load a per diem card for a weeks advance. Yes they fly you home and back to work for your off time. But save because most companies don't pay for ur time off.

[@DirtyDanh]

@@SamoraC is it hard to start off as an offshore tech straight out? Also any companys you would particularly say to stick away from?

[@SamoraC]

@@DirtyDanh I've never worked Offshore. It's just a company name. Which is ironic. Lol. But a company who makes it easy to get on with should be a red flag. Don't get me wrong, if you get an opportunity take it. But just be warned. Wind is shady. But with great risk comes great reward. That's my advice. Don't apply to big time companies with no experience. You will waste your time. 3rd party contractors and travel positions.

[@SamoraC]

Cooke power services hires people out of school. They are out of Amarillo Texas. I know Alpha Offshore will hire you. But Alpha Offshore makes you pay for gas hotel and living. And even flights. Just get in where you fit In.

[@DirtyDanh]

@@SamoraC sounds good thank you. Im doing airstreams beginning of jan, had a couple buddies go through it and travel was my main thing i didnt mind the idea of staying in hotels. Ive heard a couple of stories from big companies so i hope i can find a good company that prioritizes safety. Thank you for your honest feedback!

[@bobducksplayz5251]

I got a question so I’m getting my associates in wind tech and would that land me in a higher position?

[@CptNogg]

Go in being humble! I honestly didn't know there was a degree you could get for wind tech. You must be in Iowa? Personally I started as... "well F it i'll drive 2k miles and try it out, my xbox buddy said its a great job." But most of the "school trained" tech's I have met, had no freaking clue what they were doing, you can learn the basics, but it does not represent what you will encounter in the field. To answer your question of higher position, unlikely..that's how people die..

[@CptNogg]

@@liamsnow4642 yes, due to family stuff it was best to come home. The struggle to adjust to being poor again is real!!

[@bamboo8120]

So how much does this business pay ? I’m thinking of joining I’m from California

[@SamoraC]

Probably 3 grand to 6 grand a month. Depends on the situation. Sometimes 10 grand a month

[@kenbierer8217]

With perdiem 16 grand a month is possible. I only started at 19 an hour with Renew Energy Maintenance and pulled around 15 grand in a couple months. After a contract with them I'm now in the market to make 21 to 24 an hour depending on who I work with next. When you get to management you'll be in the 30s and 40s. Realistically 5 to 6 years experience to start making really great money .

[@MR2HICCUPS]

Still waiting...

[@okra3000]

Are you still a wind turbine tech???

[@maisarahmonier2256]

Answer this whenever you can: how on earth did you get a grant to get the education needed for the job?

[@SamoraC]

Just go apply at a school and test the waters. I got free schooling back in 2012 for signing up with secret service at 18. Hope it helps man. Different times I get it, but there is help bro. Grant it tho it only pays for tuition. Living, food, all that shit is on u bro

[@CptNogg]

While it wont be with the best companies, you can start in this field with no education or degree. put a year in at the bottom and the sky is the limit
