Well depends really where you are placed ive talked to other guys who have shitty mechanics, and by shitty i mean they treat you like Crap. My mechanic is cool and the days go by quickly, theres a lot to take in. Take notes on everything that you can. Keep up with th time cards and other paperwork. Besides that everything is awesome!

to be honest going into this trade they dont expect you to know much, they know you passed your test/interview and some tool knowledge. You go in and just follow directions. If you don’t know ask. Youre pretty much just a grunt for the first year just whatever they ask you to do. I got lucky and have experience and know our material ( i used to make our product) but now installing them. Just show up at least half an hour early everday and be prepared you will be fine

What number are you? When you. Call the hall they usually don’t pick up right away then it goes to ole voice mail extensions. If no one picks up just call again later
