My oldest Son took a long time deciding what he wanted to do once he got out of the Navy. From Vegas police to Federal Mar shall. By the time he got out Dec2012 he had decided he wanted to be a directional drilling operator. He said it might take him ten years or more. He got picked up at Weatherford as a tech tearing down oil tools. This Apr he made field engineer. He is now on a rig in Eagle Ford. He supported one in Balken. The rest have been in Tx.
