Calvin Arent Finds a Career in Linework after the Army After serving in the United States Army for four years, Calvin Arent returned home to Eau Claire, Mich. He was looking for a place where he could use his skills attained in the Army to flourish in a career. “Lucky for me, I found a career working at I&M and serving my community providing power to homes and businesses,” Arent said. “My skills I used everyday serving our country – from teamwork to communication to problem solving -- I now use as a line worker.” Arent served in the Army from Sept. 2008 to March 2012 as a mechanic stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky with the 101st Airborne Division. Arent also deployed for a year to Afghanistan. Post-military life found Arent working for a company where he traveled a lot, which didn’t afford him the time to be with family and friends. In 2018, he submitted his application to be an I&M line worker.
