Any hookups in the oilfield?

So head on a swivel huh? I'm pretty good at asking questions to figure it out. On'y problem is having people answer them for me. Hopefully I'm put on with a good crew that will show me the ropes.

[Cooter]

you'll find that most crews are mostly good dudes... if you're not a fucking idiot, they'll treat you good overall

Yeah I figured, just have to go through the expected, break in/hazing phase.

Don't know yet, they are sending me to training first, then a temp rig, then to wherever they need me.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I've been the new guy plenty of times. You're not a moron, so you'll be just fine

[racrguy]

Good luck man! If you have any questions, holler at me. I'm sure there are a few other current/former roughnecks.

Count me in the newb crowd, thanks to Branden (SBFORDTECH). Shit, I haven't worked hard since year one in Iraq.

I'm wondering how this "working your way up" is going to go. Talking with the service manager, she wants to get me back into management, preferably on the HSE side.

So starts a new gig... at 38.

I am in the exact same boat. 38 and moving to the oil work. But I don't have a job yet.

I was at a road block until I went to a hiring fair.

So...

So you're in the oil field now? So I thought you had like a million dollars from all your deployments and were set for life? So what's the story?

I don't want to burn through my stash. I'm a little late to this show, but I try to stay in the fields that are the place to be.

SO!

[SS Junk]

Sew buttons on your underwear and good luck to you. I couldn't imagine doing that shit at your old and decrepit age!

[Ruffdaddy]

Damn yall are old!!! Luckily you're close enough to retirement that you can just go out early if the price per barrel continues to drop...haha jk. Congrats on the new gigs guys. Where yall gonna be working?

Fuck roughnecking at 38, fuck the fuck out of that.
