There was a Reality TV show some years ago that made an absolute mockery of the job of Roughneck. That was incomplete, but accurate in the aspects it covered. It would have been a Lot longer to cover all the bases. I only worked the rigs for three years, but what I just saw was at least honest.
I spent over 20 years pulling slips and tripping pipe... It's hard dirty work and you're away from home most all holidays and birthdays.... It's not for everyone but if you can handle it there's serious money to be made, you'll have to earn it though.... No slackers allowed. JD
