For a long time my son thought I was a no good SOB. I signed those papers for her when she lost the love for a man that was away for months at a time and no longer looked forward to me coming home.

Mark, I understand completely. I never worked the industry on an OSV, but I've spent my share on the ore boats up here on the Lakes. Different cargo, but the same lifestyle. Days turn into weeks, months into years. You sure spend a lot of time away from home. After a while you become numb to the feeling. Just like you guys, you call, we haul.

Sir, you are a Hero. I'm young and stupid as hell and don't know shit, but at least I know that much. haha Not all heroes wear capes or carry guns or are just braver than most for a few moments in a firefight. I know we don't know each other and people love to put out opinions and belittle people. I try to Understand People rather than React to them, and Lifelike there are 5 Mins left in it. I've been given it several times actually, Sir. One day it'll be the last 5 mins for us or our Love ones and we will just want 5 more. -I'm about to start a 12-month rotation with FEMA/DHS, all I want is to make sure my parents never have to work again and make life easier for them, they didn't tell me to, they didn't have to. They were both homeless when they started this whole 'Love & Family' thing. I guess I'm just nervous a bit leaving them alone for that long, we are the type of family that when we leave the room we say 'I love you'. I don't need much money, hell as long as I have my family I'll aways be wealthy so I'm planning on buying the Farm for them. Thank you, sir. For your comment and your hard ass work. I mean that. I'm 25 and still know only that I don't know shit. But, I've always respected a hard-working individual like yourself and the Oil workers, Miners, Ironworkers, and all other back-breaking and sometimes mentally agonizing Professions. My uncles and grandfathers did those types of Jobs, and everyone wondered why everyone drank so damn much; those Jobs are for Mentally Strong Men that have so much Love for their Family they'd Sacrifice everything to take care of them. Thank you, Sir, for your comment here. I truly hope your son understands now that you did it all to make sure he had clothes on his back and food in his stomach. - Your new weird Cherokee/ French Friend. As always, Much Love To You And Everyone Here.

[@kellyhughes7294]

Been one for about 21 years. You can't be a helpless, needy "flower" and survive in this business. It's like the whole world has conspired to break, disappear or die while he's gone on a hitch. Our house burnt to the ground (with me & the kids in it), I had a major vehicle accident, breaking my back, the water well has gone down & various major appliances breaking. I have had to deal with various pet & livestock dying. My grandma, my dad & my son died while he was on a rig. You just can't snap your fingers & get him home in a couple of hours, especially when he's overseas. We divorced (infidelity on his part) and got back together. With all that said and even with all of the crap storms over the years, I wouldn't trade it or him for anything.

[@leahmae125]

Was in the oilfield for for over 35 years. This is the best song I've heard about it. It is all about family. The first shot is a guy throwing a lit roll of gas soaked toilet paper into a blowout. You have to relight them for various reasons I won't get into. The best people I have ever met in life worked in the oilfield. Will always be.

[@attackhelicopter2473]

why would you relight a well that is blowing fluid and not just flaring gas? curious because Cudd/Red Adair/Boots&Coots made a living off of putting these things out... seems odd to relinquish control of a well, and risk melting the tubinghanger/wellhead's valves..

[@leahmae125]

While with Chevron, I worked with all the people you mention during 4 blowouts over the years. We relite ours at night before calling it a day. You need to relight them primarily because the job is not done and raw unburned natural gas is extremely explosive. Better to burn it so it is not explosive than let it drift and become explosive from a single spark. Especially if it drifts into your camp. The wellhead equipment is already garbage at this point anyway.

[@danatcanyonlake583]

Attack, that scene was from Kuwait after Saddam Hussein blew the wellheads off. They did not have control yet and it is less polluting to let the oil burn until you have a capping stack in place ready to go.

Maryland pipeliner. i think once we're all out there in the dirt long enough we form a bond thats much like family. Safe hitch bud

[@paulschexnaydre2489]

Louisiana through and through , all we got, rigs , chemical and refinery plants , know em all , many years , thanks to my wife for understanding all those long hours weeks and months on end . Finally coming to an end with the money I've made time to trade the boots for pursuing my own dreams . One thing I learned ,them hours making someone else's dreams come true

[@joshualucas6980]

I’ve been giving my life to the oilfield since I was 21 and fresh out of the Marines. I’m 34 and still throwin my boots on to provide for my family

[@jeffgreer198613]

I've worked shutdowns I've worked in the oilfield. I have never seen anyone come out with no experience and rock and roll like a Marine. They teach yall boys how to get with it.

[@joshualucas6980]

@@jeffgreer198613 I appreciate that man. I broke out as a worm on the old school rigs. I was promoted to chain hand after 6 months. Worked my way up to assistant driller. It was the only environment I could survive in after combat. I lost so many “regular” jobs and the oilfield gave me that “dog eat dog” atmosphere that I was familiar with and I thrived in it.

[@jeffgreer198613]

@Joshua Lucas when I was breaking out there was this Marine who was in Fallujah . It was one of those hell jobs where everything was bad and going ape shit. He looked at me and said he felt at home lol. I knew yall was different. What we do takes a different breed. Stay safe out there bro.

[@joshualucas6980]

@@jeffgreer198613 lol that’s definitely some shit we would say. When everything is going to hell and it seems like everything is doomed to fail that’s when we feel the most comfortable. What year was this? I was in Fallujah in 07.

[@jeffgreer198613]

@Joshua Lucas lol I know how you feel shit gets that adrenaline going. That would been around '11 he wasn't just getting back he had bounced around a little bit but nothing had worked out for him until he hired in with us.

i’m in the military and this song is exactly what it’s like to be away from home, love it

[@johnnydiazjr8208]

I'm a driller hand and now drilling I would love to be on a rig like that hell with land need to be out on the water lol coming from Arizona

[@jeffchadick8003]

Awesome song! They should play this on the rig at Reconafrica! Heres to all the fellas invested in the Kavango 🍻

[@michelleking8960]

Didn't work on the rigs, but hauled the invert and such from them for 10 years. Respect for everyone in the field. Without them and the farmers, the human population would not exist.

I listen to this song constantly and have for years. Every single time i hear it. I have a tug at my heart and a hollow feeling in my chest. That few can understand. I miss it so much.

Danny Hopkins , my husband died in the patch almost 6 years ago. Such a dangerous job, he did it for 22+ years. Just before he passed he said "that kid is going to get somebody killed", he was right. Stay safe out there!

[@alfredocamacho8345]

I'm just a nipple up guy, but still proud to be part of the patch. I know a lot of other guy's out there have a hard job to cover or did cover. Much respect to all you hands out there!!!

[@larrymcintyre5693]

35 years as a rig electrician. I worked jackups, floaters, drillships, and land rigs. I wish I could do it again

[@eternalwizard776]

Watching this crying as my husband is away on his hitch 😭

Why not cry for the 1.5 billion creatures who died last year in Australia because of global warming. Not in your interest? Then to devil, you be.

And I'll signed the papers for the woman that I couldn't kiss" is my dad, been working in the oilfield before I was born and he was always gone and he had to miss a lot of my birthdays and christmas, and only a couple years ago my mom filled divorce, and he signed them, and went back to workin' Love That Man!
