Wouldn't the recommendation show you have already done this and be plugged into those people already?

I am not ready for the golden prison yet.

I am not ready for the golden prison yet.

You certainly have that right. The only reason to have a DPO while drilling is to react when the shit hits the fan otherwise the software could do everything else. Never a truer adage 99% sheer boredom with 1% of sheer terror!

Being latched up SUCKS but one sells their nautical soul for that piece of silver and that goes as much for a master as a DPO yet the master doesn't have to sit in front of that infernal console for 6 hours every day year after year, but we do have to be ready to jump in front of it during that horrible 1%.

Effing world of drilling...

Seems like pretty good money for something in the Gulf ( I assume)... What's wrong with the rig...

I'd be curious to know about this one. I reside in the next town over from Raceland and I dont know of any drilling company, or employment agency there.

If anyone does take the bait on this one, hopefully they will post something.
