how to get outage work and pay

[byroneduardo]

I am still in the navy and considering getting out.  I am considering getting into outage work while staying reserve for the last 10 years.  roughly what does outage work pay, is it fairly steady work, how does one go about getting into this area of employment, and do you have any suggestions of a different direction I might consider.  Is this even the correct area to be posting this?  Thanks fellas.

Outage work doing what? RP / Mechanic / ELectrician / laborer / decon / ?? Outage work is about 6 months a year, if you are lucky. Nice if you are single, but a drag on a family. Unemployment rules are getting harder to follow. 

You can work for a utility while being in the reserves - they are required to let you have the time for duty weekends and annual. Many utilities also "make whole" your pay if you are sent active for a deployment. 

With a bit more info, I could help ya. You could also read through a few hundred posts here and find out enough information to help yourself.

I am part of the lowly of the nuke world, the steam plant  mechanics but I most certainly would do radcon work, or whatever else they would deem me qualified for.  Being single, I am partly drawn toward the outage work.  Last time I check on the boards here, I didnt really see too much info on the subject but I will use the ever-elusive search function.  Thanks for any help you can provide.
