Hope you still have all original appendages and digits intact!Great posting Bob,
I was a roughneck and derrickman on off shore oil drilling rigs in the late 70‘s, one hell’ve macho job!
Worked for Atwood Oceanics and Off Shore International, both Texas based companies drilling off the coast of India.
Keshav, looks like one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet. Glad you are still willing with us. My lonely, 50ish cousin was courted/scammed by a guy claiming to be an oil rig worker. Turns out it is a whole genre of scammers. Who would have thought.

Chain-man... he's the one usually missing the digits.
Such hard work, these guys must have been together for some time. No wasted movements, like a.... "well-oiled machine"
Keshav... it says a lot about you to go from the rig deck to where you are now. Bravo
Thanks for posting, Bob. I'm on the perforating side of the business, the explosives involved also don't tolerate mistakes. Technology has improved that a lot these last 10 years, but still have to be mighty careful.
