I did some time in the military. If the crayon wasn't sharp they would be infantry, combat engineer or cook, not electricians.

I just graduated from VOLTA, the IBEW line school in Oregon. Our instructor saw a lineman video, then signed up for an apprenticeship. Turns out it was an inside electrician apprenticeship, but after realising it was the wrong one he finished it and got his card.

Then he applied for the line apprenticeship that he had originally wanted.

They gave him the groundman time and he did all the other schooling before becoming a Journeyman. So I believe best you could get would be the groundman hours applied. The more hours you do, the better lineman you'll be though so don't rush it.
