Let us know where you rank when you find out.
I'm happy I squeezed in before you guys interviewed because I bet you guys with a military background average a higher rank, and anyone still on the list from the recruitment done prior might get leap froged by some of you guys.

Thanks solution! Good to hear, I will be taking a bit of a pay cut for awhile but I am sure it is more than worth it. It's a field I'm looking forward to very much. And looks like I picked the perfect time to get in. A close friend of mine was in the local for 40 years, and referred me to apply. I called the local and told me the earliest I could apply was sometime after the first of the year when they were going to do their next recruiting. Then I found the H2H site and allied anyways, then got an email back a few weeks later. And while in the office, I overheard they aren't going to be doing a recruiting drive anytime soon due to the H2H response, glad I found the site!
Don't be so sure about taking a pay cut either. I'm working in north Austin (20 minute drive, off parmer lane) and am making an additional 140 in zone pay a week. If you end up on a job requiring OT the double time adds up real quick as you can imagine.
There were a few lay offs so you may not get called in December (but there's no way for anyone to really know), but someone in this thread mentioned to me a lot of crews will be getting picked up in January.
Also, to the guys who frequented this thread before we all got hired on, I'm available to go the next union meeting if anyone wants to tag along. I'd like it if we kept in touch simply because the information /contacts will come in handy down the road.
