RC-Hangout

Next Friday at a local college there is a seminar for apprentices in local businesses.

I was the first person in our company to employ them. We now have them in all of the BSW Sawmills.

I have had 2 Apprentices of the Year, both winning the same cup i won in 1982:) One has just completed his Degree that i pushed to sponsor him.

I am not blowing my own trumpet, far from it. As an apprentice i valued the need to learn. i was taught the skills , shown how to use the tools, and was mentored by some great talent.

I have used this life experience to learn, develop , and encourage others. I have never feared developing someone that could do my job or be better than me.

I was once told by my old Foreman's son, when i became an Engineering Manager, and showed him my business card, " My Dad would be so proud of you" as he had seen one of his apprentices develop.

RC-help was like that for me:)
I learnt, i developed, and along my journey of learning i meant some brilliant people:)

My heart swells with pride, that i am part of this, and part of so many brilliant and talented people:)

Pat yourselves on the back and be proud at the birth of our new beginning:)

Wow, that's a very heartwarming story Graham... Nice one

I just saw this thread. It makes me feel good that I may have had some contribution to your learning. Now we are all in the start of a new project, a new forum.

You definitely did:)

Virtual high fives to everyone, from Spain.

Feel lucky to have done my apprenticeship was a good 4 years, and set me in good stead for my future, salute companies that give people a shot to learn and earn at the same time,

Just back from work and the seminar:) great success and i managed to capture the imagination and attention of quite a few Xbox lost soles........i hope:)

Xbox, what do you do with xbox's. I've got the first one..

I was one of those Xbox lost souls, until I found RC.
Years of sitting in front of a monitor in a world of virtual death and destruction. Now I fly and I sit in front of a monitor in a world of virtual air space with a bit of destruction.

Me too Graham,
Spent years of my life sitting in front of the TV playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
I was ranked Gold Star 55 for those in the know. Thats very high
Just sold my Xbox last year.

Love COD, but too much to do to spend time on it:( back in the day though PS Lara Croft and Abes Oddessy..............

im quite partial to COD myself, especially with chunky chips.....lol

I think you will find that I actually tried out for that part in COD, if you look very carefully you can see my zimmer frame in some
of the scenarios.
