My job was to follow orders in the most blunt way possible. A large portion of the work was forklift related, mostly because when I was hired we were relocating to a job down the street. I used a large CAT forklift, and a Gehl Telescopic Lift Truck. I used an oxyfuel torch often to cut up scrap metal. I drove a large stake truck all over the state, from Detroit to bay city, to different job sites to deliver different materials. I visited many different places of business to pick up materials to drop off. Additonal Duties included:
Started off as a machine operator. We worked 12 hour shift, alternating 3 and 4 day work weeks with another team. We manufactured PVC piping for use in construction. The press operator job was to ensure of quality parts, properly package parts, and properly assemble a skid of the respective product, wrap it with plastic wrap and label it. I was then promoted to the grind room operator position. This job was to separate all scrap materials, and put them through the industrial sized grinder. Once a palleted container was finished, i would weigh it, label it, seal it, and then clean the grind room spotless to begin the grinding of the next material type. In our slower months i learned to do the material handling job. This job was to ensure the machines were being fed the proper material continuously throughout the shift. We had 40 machines and 3 drivers including myself. We also handled the finished skids from the press operators. Additional duties included:
The Michigan Youth ChalleNGe Academy educates, trains, and mentors youth in a quasi-military environment at no cost to participants, giving young people the skills to become productive and responsible citizens. Applying the military model to alternative education, the Academy promotes competency development through academic opportunities, life skills, Leadership and vocational preparation. The academy is residential, and participants live on Fort Custer, in military barracks. All instructors are veterans. We began with close to 300 students, and finished just over 100. This program requires participants to be committed to bettering themselves, and embrace the practice and education of self discipline and leadership I received the rank of Cadet Lieutenant, and for the tail 2 months of the program, was placed in charge of my platoon (class) of 50 other participants. My specific vocational training was in welding and metal working. I learned to Stick weld, Arc weld, use the oxyfuel torch, plasma cutter, and metal sheers. My final assignment was a charcoal grill I crafted completely from scrap metal. I received my Diploma as well as 15 college credit hours in various courses.
