12-14 years.

If you have previous scuba experience 6-8 years.

If you have previous welding experience 2-5 years.

Well.. if I had to pick one I would say the TIG. It would give you a wide range of welding options from steel to alum. Just be careful of the electronics on the bikes. The high frequency from the arc starting can fry computers. Disconnect the battery before welding and keep the ground clamp as close to the weld as possible.

You don't have an instruction book obviously? I would think that your best source of information would be a store that sells this type of equipment.

As a civilian or to actually join? as a civilian it all depends if it's GS, then it depends how high GS, if it's enlisted it depends on rank / tim in service.

I doubt if the people here know the requirements in every state.

Your technical college would, however. Call them, talk to the person giving the welding program and how how one qualifies to be a certified welder.
