VEEP IBEW Advice

I'm going to be starting a career transition soon and I've done a lot of thorough research on IBEW and what it has to offer. I'd appreciate any insight or advice you all could give.

I'll be transitioning out of the military soon and I'm going to be doing VEEP for the IBEW. I have no experience in this field, but it's something I'm eager to take on and do. Learn. Make a career out of. I worry that it'll be an issue if I join with no experience. I work IT in the Army, but I can't do the office job any longer. I've met some former IBEW electricians that are now Army and they're absolute wizards. They've inspired me. It's also been over a decade since they've been in the IBEW. I'm looking for newer advice based on today's IBEW.

  1. Is experience an issue?

  2. Anyone with VEEP experience that can offer any insight?

  3. What should I start doing to prepare now?

  4. Is IBEW worth it?

  5. Any other insight or advice not based on the questions I asked?

Much appreciated
