Initially, okay, I got some of my training, basic electronics, while I was in the Navy. I came into what was then Western Electric, now Lucent. There I was an installer. I went to a lot of schools there, basic electronics, schematic drawings, how to read schematic. . . .Then, later I transferred over to AT&T because I was going to be relocated after 18 years working with Western. I've been here for the last 15 years with AT&T. I've been sent to schools, again, for more electronics, transistorized systems, digital systems, how a certain piece of equipment works, how they function, how to troubleshoot them.
