I went to Berkner but no blood lost here. You'll are some crazy people and I can't wait to join and it will at least give me an excuse for being crazy myself.

No matter what anyone tells you, stay away from the swimming pool on the back deck.

Also, if you end up going out on one of our ships in the gulf and the superintendant on the ship asks you to fill the moonpool, make sure you _do_ it.

Yeah, all of us here know its a crappy job to do, but it only takes about 3 to 4 hours to get it done. Think of it this way, you get paid to stand around and hold a hose. You also get into the super's good graces as this is one less job for him to do. Besides, they will only ask you to do it once before they rotate the task to someone else. (The moonpool gets drained from all the raising/lowering of the ROVS on the jobs).

Why does it sound like I'm going to get to do that at least once?
