Hi 63 max!
If you didn't bust a test at all in your career, I would know that you're full of it, BUT since you did admit that you have and posted it on this forum, you have my respect for being so honest and humble enough to do so! I commend you for that!!! ;)
If anyone posts that they have never busted a test in their career, then they haven't YET, or they're just plain full of it - PERIOD!
ANYWHO, Thank you for admitting that you're human and you learned from the experience. ;)
I know that I have learned more about welding from my mistakes and busted tests than I ever did by just passing tests! ;)
Respectfully,
Henry
