BASIC FACTS
A day at camp
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I just started really looking at long-term and what I wanted to do and I wanted job security. So that's what really got me to apply. And once I started getting in and I started meeting the guys, it was something I really enjoyed.
"For me it was like a day at camp. You get out there, rain or shine. It could be pouring rain on you, and you've got to get ready. You make a job plan, 'This is what we're going to do', everybody gets their assigned tasks, and then you go out and you get to climb poles, be outside and enjoy the weather.
"So once I got out there on the job, that's what really made me enjoy it. That's why I decided this is what I want to do."
