Its hard to get into the power lineman union in california. Looking in joining the airforce to get the military experience. Veterans get to be put on book 1 as a groundman automatically, then you can work your way up to join powerlineman apprenticeship one day.

[@chillboymiggy]

Air national guard. Especially in California you will be collecting insane BAH while you are in training. If you go with the airforce electrician tech school that is 8 months of probably 6k a month for you!

[@Kk_1100]

@@chillboymiggy wow thats crazy. So you would recomend the air national guard over air force reserves? I was looking into the reserves but now that you said this ima have to do some research on it.

[@chillboymiggy]

@@Kk_1100 everyone I’ve ever talked to said the Gaurd is better than reserves. You get to pick your job and you get federal and state benefits

Man im currently studying for graphic design cause thats my passion i like it was either that or music and i plan on doing trade school to be a electrician but ive been thinking of doinf airforce for along time but then i feel like i dont need to do all that if my school is already paid for and i can be an electrician without going to the military i was only going for the discpline and to be a better me but i can always do that without joining so im debating still right now

[@NoeGarciaDuran]

Yo bro I’m looking into the airforce and army and I really like the rigger job and how u could be a rigger for the rangers 75 regiment but I don’t know how much they deploy releasticly

[@JuanGarcia-dj2tt]

Thanks for answering my question bro I graduate highschool in December this was real helpful man I think I’m gonna go active duty and try and get the same Air Force job as you then I’m gonna go to a lineman school after I finish the contract one more question man I read online that the air force offers the lineman pole climbing certificate do they still have that?

[@chillboymiggy]

Bet made another vid

[@juanguerrero2282]

Did you do it ?

[@limastall9279]

So what exactly was your path to become an electrician in the military? Like what did you do after high school

[@Hunchoev]

You can enlist as one and they train you after basic

[@drippyeddy5130]

Yo will your apprentice hours count while in the Air Force or at least a good number of them so when you get it out you don’t have wait 4 years to complete the apprenticeship

[@chillboymiggy]

Not too sure about this one, but I believe your time in the airforce owner count towards most apprenticeships. I think Texas has a special program

[@whymemanwhyl0lp751]

*What branch is best for electrician if you had to choose? Also does 3E0X1 teaches you how electrical stuff works on plane, boats, etc or once you learn the basic of how stuff works you can pretty much further your knowledge on specific stuff like what I just mentioned. My idea is to work at a civilian airport with planes and stuff*

[@RickandRusty]

Airforce my guy but if you wanna be an electrician on boats and planes that’s different a different job than 3E0X1. 3E0X1 gets to work on buildings, power lines, the airfield. Basically all electrical other than planes, boats, etc.

[@RickandRusty]

I also wanna real with you about what you’re wanting. I wanted to work on planes too but see I’m glad I don’t because they work 12 hour shifts 5 days a week and are glued to one location. 3E0X1 you get to go to every building around the base

[@whymemanwhyl0lp751]

@@RickandRusty *hmm you think you have time for college while in active duty? I was thinking about the lineman route*

[@chillboymiggy]

I’ll hit u up with another vid

[@hi-cz9rj]

Hey the electronics that you are looking for to work on aircraft is avionics

[@Trusty335is]

Going in as a reservist, would I get deployed a lot in this career choice? I know if you do HVAC, you’d get deployed a lot. I don’t want to get deployed a lot because I want to keep my civilian job and be close to family.

[@chillboymiggy]

Yes you would get a lot of opportunities to deploy. But you’re in the reserves? Why would you be worried about deploying? Don’t you choose if you want to go or not? If you don’t want to get deployed try going to a desk job like finance, contracting, intel. They don’t deploy a lot. It’s usually CE (civil engineering), services, security forces squadrons that deploy a lot

[@Trusty335is]

@@chillboymiggy I don’t believe you get a choice. Gotta go where they need you to work at

[@chillboymiggy]

@@Trusty335is oh join the gaurd man, they let you pick your job. I’ve heard the guard is a better deal than the reserves because you get state benefits as well

[@wadenelson1954]

Is there a specific score you have to get on your asvab for this trade

[@chillboymiggy]

Google it

[@lewiscortayz5232]

I might do that get into the ibew program electricians for Oregon they pay like 27.09 then after training for the apprenticeship you get paid 53.85

[@chillboymiggy]

That sounds like a fantastic idea my man

[@user-fn2vp1sw1h]

YOU WILL FIND OUT THE TRUTH !

[@GabbyBrazy]

@@user-fn2vp1sw1h wym? that's not how much they really pay?

[@ThemeParkBeast98]

​@user-fn2vp1sw1h what do you mean?

[@MrChickenspit]

3e0x2 - also a good job in the airforce?

[@chillboymiggy]

Oh yes power pro is a great one, everyone needs generators. You’ll have great opportunities to deploy

[@chicanaM]

What are the chances of travel while in the reserves?

[@chillboymiggy]

I heard it depends on your unit

[@chicanaM]

@@chillboymiggy thanks. I've been thinking about joining and hopefully becoming an electrician, so I can apply it outside the military.

[@chillboymiggy]

@@chicanaM yes, definitely a very applicable career field outside of the military

[@TEPID1OS]

Hey man I’m new to your channel and I have some questions because I’m a electrician helper for almost 2 years now and I would like to get to know the trade more and expand my knowledge. I’m 26 with a wife and a 2 year old. I really don’t know what to do. I enjoy being an electrician.

[@chillboymiggy]

Not many people in the government know their trade to be honest bro. I don’t even have a licensed master electrician in my workplace. Though if you want more exposure and more benefits to being an electrician with opportunities to travel, I highly recommend joining the airforce Gaurd/reserves. They’ll get you good benefits for you and your family. You’ll definitely learn a wide variety of electrical knowledge in the airforce, but never narrow and solid experience within the government.

[@wavetime3651]

Sorry if this is late but is there one specific rate you would pick to be an electrician or are there different occupations that could translate to Electricians in the civilian world?

[@chillboymiggy]

What do you mean by rate? I think this would be the only one that could translate to becoming a civilian electrician. The next closest I could think of would be electrical and environmental systems on airplanes. That’s one of the occupations in the airforce

[@user-fn2vp1sw1h]

BIG JOBS CONTRACTED OUT !!! that means usaf experience is very low !! the union ibew knows this very well , therefore you start at the very bottom all over again ! your a handy man will the skills you have !!!!!!

[@chillboymiggy]

You’re not wrong, the big jobs are not hit enough especially with the manpower we have

[@user-fn2vp1sw1h]

@@chillboymiggy : For any one in the electrical AFSC who wants to work civilian , they must know the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE - most states have certifications based on nec tests. Teach your self how to bend EMT, get that bender and do 90's, 3 point & 4 point saddles . Plan reading !! With out solid quick skills in the said areas you will not work !!! .

@@user-fn2vp1sw1h solid advice. How do you know this?

[@anthonyoof5356]

I’m 19 and so I’ve completed 1 year of electrical school would I get my journeyman’s license within the 6 months?

[@chillboymiggy]

Idk brotha, and honestly I don’t know where to get that answer. Theirs not many electricians here with a master electricians license, with that being said, I’m not sure who would be able to certify you. I’m going for my associates in electrical

[@kage281]

You get your journeyman’s license after you graduate from your apprenticeship

I know you posted this almost a year ago but the answer is no
