  • There is a new TikTok trend of young women prank calling the men in their lives to let them know they've gotten a job as an underwater welder at an offshore oil rig. This is one of the few trends I decided to join in on, so today we're prank calling my brother.

    You said men “choose to do these types of incredibly dangerous , not fun, dirty jobs” , but it’s important to note that men choose these jobs (in majority) not because it’s entertaining or fulfilling, but because it pays enough to provide for their family. Props to these men for keeping our country running. As a man myself, I would be hard pressed to last even a week at a job like this. Props to the men and women out there that keep our critical infrastructure running!🎉🎉🎉

    As a guy who's been working in the oil and gas industry for 15 years, it's crazy to see the huge push by oil companies to bring women into the industry. It's so frustrating showing up to a job and having one or more women on the crew that can't easily lift 50 lbs. I work in -45 degree weather in the winter and +35 in the summer and the guys are expected to go all out but the women hang out in warm up shacks or the truck all winter and complain most of the summer.

      Hopefully people are payed based on the amount of work they do or I would make a official complaint about gender discrimination if that is not allowed in your country, which it isn’t in most. Having to do the work for satisfying a pr stunt is fine if the company compensates those who are doing most of the work.

      Plus they have to have special bathroom access where guys can just whip it out and go anywhere. Men are expected to be able to take a shit zero times a day or only during lunch when they can go to the facilities. Putting a woman on any kind of male-dominated job like construction, roughnecking, or truck driving just makes all the guys have to work harder and costs the company money for facilities, fucks up group cohesion and keeps guys from being able to just turn their back and piss anywhere.

      @Jaster832 yeah it's getting pretty bad in my industry. One of the reason why I used to like construction was because it was just you and your friends talking shit and having a good time together but now I've seen so many dudes get written up for joking with a woman when she would start cracking jokes but would get hurt feelings if a guy said the wrong thing. I personally had to do sensitivity training because a woman apprentice was non-stop fucking up on a very easy task and after talking with just her and informing her of the issue she still continued to fuck up so I did what every journeyman before me has done when someone keeps fucking up and creating more work for others, and that was yell at her in front of the whole crew. She cried and then refused to work for the rest of the day so I sent her back to the lunch trailer where she cried more and then the superintendent called me in and said I could talk that way to everyone on the crew but her. I then had to waste a weekend on my days off after working 21 days straight doing training about how to use positive reinforcement and not negative.

    Roughnecking is about the toughest job you could possibly have imo. We had some guys come out and set up a rig on our farm drilling for oil. Those guys worked around the clock for about two weeks drilling. I went over a few times to chat with them, and everyone of them were missing most of their teeth from getting hit with the equipment. I asked them if they all used the same dentist which brought a good chuckle. Needless to say, these are the hardest working men there are, and they make each and every one of our lives better due to their hard work. Hats off to all the roughnecks out there

      @@watermia I figure because the kinetic force from accidents would cause more damage than a mouthpiece could protect against... a good enough helmet would likely limit visibility in some way, or send protective bits at the worker in a similar fashion as the mouthpiece. I imagine the mouthpiece would either fracture teeth instead of knocking them out, or disperse the force to multiple teeth beyond the point of impact, taking out more.
      I could be wrong though, that is just my theory.

    I served four years in the U.S. Navy, but I always feel awkward when people find out and robotically say, "Thanks for your service." But, when people learned I spent four years as a U.S. Navy Deep Sea Salvage Diver and another four years as a commercial diver, they were always surprised, impressed, and interested. Just like Brett, they commended me for the work. I enjoy sharing stories about my insane underwater experiences. I've done and seen it all, and I am so glad that I did.
    In my eight years as a professional deep sea diver, I never saw a female near the diving station. Back in the 70s, it would have been bad luck to let a woman on station.
    I laughed when the girl said she would spend six weeks doing underwater welding. You can't even get your feet wet in six weeks.

Butch old school lesbian, like I mean she got the cat calling started when hot women went by, and would always do the American pie milf chant when she saw a hot mom. Aside from that for an offshore crew I remember her saying "it's not about anything but respect and trust, not on some social justice sh*t, on some we don't wanna die in a petrol fire, or any other preventable issue." She even took over the screening of all women applicants when one said one of the guys were mean, and it was almost an issue.

      I worked as an oil field rough neck during summers and winter breaks during college years. Actually started when was still in high school. Worked both land rigs and offshore. Loved the pay, but it's tough and can be dangerous work. A lot of hours spent in misery depending on weather conditions. Offshore we worked 12 hour shifts so tripping pipe in or out of the hole for that long is grueling. I also worked the derick position (90 ft above the rig floor) for 12 hour shifts - handling the drill collars is tricky and they are very heavy pipe, so if they start to go in wrong direction they can get away. Couple of times I had to get out of safety harness, crawl across the rig structure at that height to retrieve a stand - and not goof up and fall to a very likely, unpleasant death.
      I do have a permanent scar on a cheek from being struck by the spinning chain (knocked out briefly and taken to emergency room to be stiched up), and when working on offshore, a co-worker that was also 19 died due to a crane sling breaking and drill pipe falling on him (I generally found offshore more dangerous than land rigs - but I enjoyed the helicopter rides and the cooking was decent - the cook was Cajun).
      It's one of the tougher kind of jobs one can do in civilian life short of going to war.
      But it tends to pay pretty well.
      I liked doing it and so kept going back again and again. Mom never liked it - she worked in a hospital and saw the rig accidents that would come in, so can't much blame her.

I learned about welding in a college class and next thing you know I'm the best welder in the class and i do it on the side professionally now. Not saying basic welds are anywhere near as tough as underwater welding, just sayin these kind of roles arent even told to us so how would women ever grow up learning these trades if we dont know they exist *shrugs* 😕 By the time we learn about this stuff we are already out of highschool and have chosen a major in college so we are pretty committed to a path in life by then.

      @@Adrienople I think that partially hints at how women might need to be shown jobs like this. Firstly, not just as some offhand "ohey, there are jobs like offshore drill rigging out there" but that they actually exist and can actually be lucrative if incredibly dangerous. And secondly (which might be the more controversial part), women might need to have jobs like that mentioned and discussed very early in life, like in those take-your-parents-to-school days kind of thing (if, yknow, they still do that). Plus, they might need to be given a lot more focused training and mentorship not just for the technical skill but maybe even physical prowess to make up for the lack of natural strength and natural muscle growth men have to do those jobs in the first place.
      I'm not super-versed in those jobs, either, so anything like welding (such as underwater welding) might not need that kind of focus and merely just letting girls know they exist and proposing them as viable ideas. That will have it's own set of hurdles in today's world, certainly, but it'd be possible. And I could be overstating that wildly due to my lack of knowledge. But i think that bringing them up early in life will be super-important.

This trend of forcing everyone to pretend that women can do any job a man can do without addressing the physical requirements of physical jobs is beyond absurd and will eventually end in tragedy for everyone involved.

    During WWII, the American Volunteer Group("Flying Tigers") were a group of mercenary American pilots who volunteered to fight for China against Japan.
    Using obsolete P-40 pursuit planes, they had a 25:1 kill ratio against the enemy, although always out-numbered and under-supplied.
    One night they had a "bull session" and discussed what they were fighting for. They all agreed... "The American Girl".
    For me... that's Brett Cooper.

    Depending on year, timber falling and deep sea fishing compete for most deaths per capita at work in the United States. Being a cop is somewhere around 23rd on the list when I checked.
    As a former sawyer on a hotshot crew, I have known a decent number of people who really want to fell trees. Not many women in that category to say the least.
    Now I work in healthcare surrounded by female nurses, and whenever anything feels dangerous… they generally call for me. Even if it’s just a spider (true story).

A few days later I saw a group of about 5 city workers (all men) clearing off the fallen trees opposite my house. They were muddy and wet and lifting these huge trunks. I left the warmth of my living room to cross the street and ask if one of them could remove a big rat that died just near the entrance of my building. The main dude made a friendly joke and he went retrieve it straight away. I thanked him and his crew and told them they were doing a great job - one that I definitely couldn't do. It put a smile on their faces. Not that they seemed miserable before I complimented them - unlike the bored 20 somethings who work in high street stores or fast food joints and clearly hate their jobs and treat customers with contempt.
