Tongue Point Cement masonry?

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the workload from cement masonry so I hope someone can help here? I’ve seen plenty of YouTube videos about what to pack and people in nursing but I just can’t seem to accept that a day of trade would look anything similar.

My first question, if I were to effeciently finish my orientation work before the month of orientation is up would I be allowed to start my trade a few days early or are they stern about finishing your whole month of orientation?

Next, if I were to hypothetically finish my pre-apprentice masonry training in 8 months, how long would advanced training take? I already know that the closest location for advancement is San Diego JC but I’m unsure if that helps with anything.

Next, how do I make sure I become a good cement mason? I already know to keep my head straight on graduation when I leave this summer but I feel like I need some kinda physical conditioning? Should I be doing certain lifting workouts or cardio so I don’t make a fool of myself?

Lastly, are the guys in JC generally chill with a guy who happens to be trans bunking with them? I don’t want it to be weird for them or unsafe for myself. Ik how I view myself doesn’t really change how most others do but I see myself as just a guy who has a medical condition that causes him to need some medical care. I don’t personally connect with community much at all.
I hope this makes sense and I mean it with respect.

Thanks in advance!
