Hi all, new member as of today. I got word from the State that I'm a PLS so I figured I would stop lurking and sign up! I've been surveying for 15 years now, started in the Midwest (Chicago area as well as IN, MI, MN, OH, TX, NY) then came out West awhile back. My wife and I have been in SoCal for a few years now.?ÿ
I hope to make some contributions to the community and learn as I go.?ÿ
Welcome and congratulations! ????
Thanks Wendell, hopefully now I can get my two posts approved and I'm good ????ÿ
Welcome.?ÿ Try to add as much as you take.?ÿ We need new perspectives from time to time.
Congratulations on obtaining the PLS license.
Congrats and Welcome!
That's right, I feel very fortunate to have made the grade. I didn't have to deal with things like the Subdivision Map Act in the Midwest. I passed on my second attempt and I had a year and a half break in between. I studied A LOT. ?????ÿ
Are the numbers into five digits yet?
9609 is currently the highest number issued, which includes this latest group. That is 9609 issued since 1891 in currently the most populated state in the US.
I have to admit I was happy to be a 4-digit, albeit a high one. 9603 here.
Mr. Lindell is 4016. Michael McGee is still actively doing field work as PLS 3945. Frequent poster Peter Ehlert is 5116 and Warren Smith is 4842. Almost forget Jim Frame @ 5435. Makes my 5684 seem like a newbie.?ÿ
Iowa numbers PE and LS licenses in the same sequence, so crossed into 5 digits in the 1980's.?ÿ
Dual licensees then only have one number.
Welcome and congrats. I'm licensed in 3 states and CA is pretty tough. 8081 here, but that's just because I moved to CA late-ish in my career, unfortunately doesn't make me young.?ÿ
