hello all, my name is matt and i am from michigan. i have been an electrician for the past 2 years but the company i was with sold out and i have been having a hard time finding work. so i thought it was time for me to serve my country and i enlisted into the national gaurd as a heavy equipment operator. i have always wanted to be a operator just never had the money to get certified. my goals with this are to become a owner-operator later on down the road. i love construction and when i saw this site just had to join it. looking forward to talking and learning new stuff from all of u. thanks and have a good day.

Hello Matt, welcome to Breaktime!
You could stay pretty busy here just answering electrical questions but it won't pay the bills.
Thank you for serving the country--

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Oh com'n now Haz lett is pretty gentle with newcomers.

Doesn't he have to stumble into the tavern before we can haze him? ... Welcome to BT Backwood-Day
Invite him in!
Ok,http://forums.taunton.com/tp-breaktime/messages?msg=97412.1A Guardsman and a sparkie... you should come on down to the Tavern where the posts aren't always on topic, the beer is cold, the women are few, and the bar fights are raucous. If you see a fight feel free to sit at the bar and laugh as you watch or jump right in swinging.

welcome brother, good luck with your endeavors. i hope they get that iraq thing settled before you get trained and sent over there. i would much rather have you working a little closer to home.
MI huh? I'm surprised you can still afford an internet connection. There's a bunch of guys from MI here. I used to work in Oakland and Macomb...residential framing.
What kind of electrical work were you doing and where?

Welcome from one of the Canucks here. I stop by into Soo Michigan occasionally, and venture down to Gaylord to the Lowes.
