I just found out that my application for licensure by comity was approved at the last board meeting. I will be in Bismarck in the next two months to sit for the state-specific portion of the exam. Any ND surveyors on here?
Looking forward to it. Hopefully the spring melt will be underway and I won't have to send off for beaver castor impregnated emu fur lined survey quality kilt.

Andy, the pickens are so slim around here I'm thinking about heading that way. Ok, I could likely make it on 20-30K per month/ plus per diem. Get me outta hock in short order.
But jeez oh pete, I like women, dancing, having fun. And from what I here those pickens are slimmmer than ..... fill in your own blank.... and it ain't a check I want to write
Andy-
We're sold right out of the kilts.
Have you checked with Kent's Moose Jaw Office ?

Had a project up there from October to January last year and will be back this year again at that same time. All I can say is that working in -20 to -30 with 20mph wind in not fun.
I was registered there for some years.
Never did any work in North Dakota.
In fact, I have never even been to North Dakota!
Can't remember if I ever got a stamp for that one or not.
A pipeliner I knew had a take home exam for ND. I know that
several BOR offices will monitor the out-of-state specific exam.
Security has tightened and you would probably have to take the
monitored exam on the same day as ND's schedule.
I just recently received my ND LSIT, and will be applying to take the PLS exam soon. They deferred my previous application stating lack experience. They seem to offering a lot of money for a section breakdown and one footprint in the oil fields, but I wouldn't want to do it long term. And yes the winters with the wind can be brutal.
Well, theoretically I would not be located in ND. Just occasional trips to get projects started and to check on local field crew from time to time.
I told my boss I was allergic to North Dakota, but he doesn't believe me.
It will be my first PLSS state, so I am going to have to buy one of those cookbooks soon. Any other recommended study material recommendations appreciated. I have been on the ND surveying society's website and downloaded some court cases and what not from them.
I've got some links on my web page ( 888.SURPASS.com )
Look towards the bottom of the listing for a prefix of USPLSS
And, I always appreciate a note when you encounter a faulty link.
Thanks for your help!
