National Heavy
Equipment Operators School want’s
to introduce you to Mr. Roger
Johnson. Roger graduated from
our most excellent school in
December of 2003. Since graduation
Roger has been gainfully employed
with ADB utility contractors.
ADB is actually American Directional
Boring. Roger routinely uses
Caterpillar equipment including
the mini excavator pictured
here. He also operates tractor
loader-backhoes, skid-steer
loaders, super 10 water truck,
and various dump trucks.
The exciting thing
about Roger’s job is the
different equipment he gets
to operate. He loves the outdoors
and enjoys the ever changing
job tasks he performs with this
equipment. He also enjoys being
home every night.

Roger spent 28
years in the United States Navy
prior to becoming an equipment
operator. His commitment to
our security did not permit
him to be home as much as he
wanted to be. After serving,
Roger knew he would need a second
career. He chose National for
the training he wanted. He chose
us because we had everything
he has looking for. He liked
the phase approach of distance
learning and then resident training.
He also liked the cost. No other
school in the country offers
what we do for the money. Finally,
he liked the location of the
school sunny Florida.

Roger has been
married to Bev for 28 years.
All of their children have grown
up, moved away, and started
families of their own. Bev is
a prominent figure in the Duval
School system. Roger certainly
enjoys coming home at night
now. Being good at operating
equipment has afforded him this
opportunity. Roger has had one
successful career and is now
enjoying the second one. His
immediate goals are to hone
his operator talents and be
as safe and alert as he can
be.
National Training Heavy
Equipment Operators School proudly
awards Roger with the coveted
Featured Graduate honors
He’s earned it!
