The doc looked in my mouth and said, "humm you have good teeth" as if he was surprised just to see more than 8. Then he asked me to touch my toes. When I leaned over and put my palms on the floor he stood back and said, " ya dont see many men who cna do that.!" Then he told me to go wait in the loby..... Then there was two days of reading manuals and taking computer tests and a day of first aid/auto defib/etc. Had Th-Fr off and next week have four more days of training. Somthing called Safe Gulf, upside down helo in the water egress, and some other stuff. To say the least this companay belives in training! But thats. cool im in a hotel on the comapny and getting half pay. I might be on a boat in 10+ days. Ive seen HELP WANTED signs for: Gulf Fleet J Ray McDermott Rigdon Bank Towing (had a tv add I saw yeasterday) Jobs are to be had if wanted. Bob Arg! the egress is a cake walk if you just maintain the orentation in your head. the OBA jog around the building is not fun due mostly to the cheapskate schools that wont actually put inriched air in the bloody things. what school they got you going to is it the one just past the helo tour on the left side of the road? and I think you have the in the water survival suit drill. dont do it as fast as you where tought to do it here. the instructors dont like it when you are in the suit before they finish speaking. It takes me 11 seconds to get in my suit. lets just say that i did my survival suit trick several times to satisfy the instructors curiosity (pardon while i cuss for a moment,,, about bloody ****ing stupid gulf sailors that have no ****ing training in cold water survival trying to tell real qualified international captians how to ****ing survive at sea. the fat ****s are good for nothing other than food....all better now) you might notice that i have a little problem with the whole "training" issue. the fire fighting is fun if they let it out and you get to play. I really liked the inferno room . being ingulfed in flame is fun as long as you have a nicely charged fire hose. have fun good luck and keep us informed. |
