    Default couple questions

    What is the best days to walk into Hornbeck and Chouest for employment. Also I hold a 500 ton master with no ITC. I am making over 500 a day right now. Will either one of these companies pay this without DP or 3000ITC? I hear that there crew changes are just about always on time and they stay on a 28 and 14 schedual year around

    You need to get your 3000 ITC first before you even need to bother talking to them.

    HOS will start you $425 but after you get you DP you will be at around $700.

    Chouest will start you out at what ever the base pay is, over $500 though.

    Do you have any OSV experience that's what they are really looking for.
    Getting straight with Nate, because apparently getting right means your going to have to retake Nav Gen

    I have been running 200 ft 4 point anchor boats the last 3 years. Have not worked supply since my crew boat days.

    Last I heard Oceaneering was paying 4 point Captains very well, more than DP captains.

    HaHa you pathetic little man

    Mr. Potter: [to George Bailey] Look at you. You used to be so cocky. You were going to go out and conquer the world. You once called me a warped, frustrated, old man! What are you but a warped, frustrated young man? A miserable little clerk crawling in here on your hands and knees and begging for help. No securities, no stocks, no bonds, nothin' but a miserable little $500 equity in a life insurance policy.[Potter chuckles]

    Mr. Potter: You're worth more dead than alive! Why don't you go to the riffraff you love so much and ask them to let you have $8,000? You know why? Because they'd run you out of town on a rail. But I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you, George. Since the state examiner is still here, as a stockholder of the Building and Loan, I'm going to swear out a warrant for your arrest. Misappropriation of funds, manipulation, malfeasance...[sees George runs off]

    Mr. Potter: All right, George, go ahead! You can't hide in a little town like this!

    Oh hell man you're all set, go talk to Chouest and find a sweet AHTS gig making some serious change.

    As long as you have some oil field experience you're golden.

    Hey Stick, Don't let the ''Sea God'' aka C.Captain bother you. He is just a old man nearing the end of the line. He has always been very quick to belittle and ridicule.

    Hey Skinny - Sorry for the derail. Sometimes we just can't resist the urge to return fire on our favorite curmudgen.

    Sorry but Lcdr. Quinton T. McHale, USNR is my go to man now and for decades to come. Ernest Borgnine might have passed but McHale's Navy lives on forever!

    Ah, you messed me up C.Capt.

    After posting, I re-read my entry and it thought it was dumb so I deleted it. In the time it took me to read & delete, you tagged and replied.

    You don't miss a thing, do you? Do you EVER turn off your computer?

    Oh, and here is a repost of the dumb Sea God pic I found:

    remember that THE C.Captain knows all, sees all and tells all!

    ps...don't get me wrong! I like the SeaGod and his pointy trident. I think wearing green rubber is awesome and if you know any sexy ladies who like a man in green rubber kindly send them my way. I'll pay you a finder's fee if you do!
