Oil rig is no place for a gun, as tempers can flare just from anything stemming from hazing or argument. You would think it would be a no weapons policy in such a dangerous work environment. I know the dangers of this work and i still have applied to dozens of companies with not a call yet ,hoping the risk pays off.
