It does work fine in the area, just not at the actual site. Verizon is the only real carrier option. They just installed a new repeater as well to help. Also, Southern has it's own cell service, SouthernLinc, which works as well.

Thanks for the info. I too was a Navy Nuke, but I got out 5 years ago. And thanks for the heads up on the cell phones as well.

I am scheduled to take the POSS test for a system operator in training position for Plant Vogtle this week. If selected and I do take this job I will be walking away from another Nuclear field job I have held at SRS the past 5 years. Someone please throw out some great selling points for me to pursue this position. The base pay is already around 3,000 more yearly than what I would make now so including how fast after training you can jump up your pay would be a big plus as well. The drawbacks right now are that it is about twice as far for me to drive to work and I have absolutely no idea about their benifits/ retirement. Feel free to dump as much info on me that you want. I want to make the best decision for the future going forward and am really excited about the opportunity if selected.

If you can make it into commercial power, you will wonder how you ever put up with DOE life. In my experience, commercial work is always more entertaining and rewarding, the attitudes are usually more positive, and the level of boredom significantly reduced. A longer commute is a small price to pay for the increased job satisfaction you will experience.
Good luck! :)
