    Thanks for the response! I am glad to know you are still happy with your situation. Others, like hunny dew, seem to be happy also. My opinion, at this point, is to go to the school to allow for more options, if needed. I don't know if its totally correct but it's what I've come up with. Thanks again.

    If for instance someone pays for their own schooling and gets the CDL Do you know if Halliburton does tuition reimbursment? That would be really cool for someone like me that is paying out of pocket and if you guys know that license is not cheap lol.

    Thanks for the response. I in no way was questioning your character, I want to be clear on that. I just wanted clarity and I thank you for that. The question needed to be ask in general since so many of us have developed habits of communicating that are inaccurate. Such as not delineating between opinion and fact or speaking in vague terms that can be open to interpretation.

    Greywolfe, from what I'm seeing at the Hobbs NM Baker yard our frac crews are busier than one legged men in a buttkicking contest as well...whether it will slow down as fall arrives, though, I can't say.

    I have been looking on RigZone and JUJU to gauge the demand. I don't know if it is accurate at all, but I have seen a recent jump in posted jobs. I have been concerned when the numbers went down, but with the "instability in the Mid East, there will be high demand for North American oil and gas. I am very glad to hear you describe how busy your yard is, I want to work lots of hours.
