How did you enjoy HUET training? I'm an Electrical Engineer from Ohio, and I get sent down to the Gulf every few months for start-ups/automation troubleshooting. After a day of being strapped in and flipped upside-down underwater, I was not feeling so great.

Agreed, haha. I think I ended up having to get dunked 7 times (I had to redo it once because I couldn't get the window open). Hope you get out of there soon. :)

The last platform I was on was floating, so when the storm was coming, I definitely felt like it was time to come home haha. Glad to be non-essential.

Outside of the training, I really do enjoy the work. It's pretty cool (although definitely stressful) to go in and troubleshoot equipment that needs to get up and running ASAP. Always an adventure.

After I told everyone in the office about my experience with the training, they all backed out from going through with it...so now I'm the go-to guy whenever we do offshore work.

Have you been stuck out there often due to the weather? The last time I was out, I was there for almost a month straight...then a tropical depression rolled through, and everyone was evacuated.
