    Receiving a complement from this guy while climbing must have felt like you won in life.

    god bless the linemen. these are the guys that get your power and internet back up at 3AM in the middle of winter during a blizzard. unless you have lazy linemen, then it takes a week lol

    31 years as a professional firefighter and when asked if I wanted to be a lineman all I could say was "Aw, hell no!" Balls of steel those guys have.
  • I went through Boston Edison's line school in 1970. we had to free climb a 35 foot pole before they even gave us a belt . there were wood chips around the base of the pole in case we fell. different times I guess.

    I was a new lineman 30 years ago and did it for a number of years in the cable tv industry. We never had the secondary safety strap. Bare hands to grip better with was the rule for us...lol I enjoyed it very much especially the outdoors and the freedom but, also the satisfaction of getting a hard job done. Here's to the linemen!!
  • I trained as lineman in the US Army Signal Corp, at the time MOS was 31K (wire dog) as we were called, it was a lot of fun. When we trained on the poles we would throw a ball from soldier to soldier, if you dropped it or threw it badly, you had to retrieve the ball from the ground and climb back up.

    I’m glad these boys learned how to climb on clean poles unlike I did. Makes a huge difference in training. That’s a great instructor.

    I'm so glad the overdramatic music was put in. It makes it so much better! 🙄
  • @johnpowers2921
    These students worked well. Six months to a year they will be teaching someone else, and remember climbing up a pole may be natural for a squirrel but not people. Good luck to you all
  • @keno-ne5ob
    I remember we all had to climb to top and pass a football around on the last day. The bucksqueeze would of helped my nerves back then.
