Large OSV endorsement

Hey gang, a suggestion to help avoid the agony of spam-bots trolling for your email
addresses. Make a .gif or .jpg image of you email and paste it into a
message. That'll keep those A-holes from harvesting your addy and filling your
inbox with spam-ola. 
 
Like so:

You have to go through one of the approved programs offered by one of the large OSV operators.

Thanks anchorman, I have been on the water all my life but just learning about the oil patch. I hope to get a job down there in the near future. Currently I hold a 100 ton master 200 ton mate and unlimited radar and hopefully will be starting all the prerecs for my 1600 ton soon I just want to get with a good company down there that will help me along with training and eventually work my way up to one of those AHTSV like you run for ECO.
