Who knows about Rowan. Maybe South LA maybe Texas. I don't even know if they are still doing doing the college program.

Attention everyone. The buy sale thread is about to get cleaned up. All post over 60 days will be removed. If you still have something for sale please repost it after the clean up. This will also give your posts a new date so you might get some hits.

Morning everyone.
Just in time, sounds like you got one nice truck. I'd also like to see finished pics!


Robert, good chance they'll fix you up and take off some of the charges.
When I talked to HR at Rowan they still had the hand program, but I was to late (needed a aplication in a couple months ago). I just didn't think to ask where they would depart from at the time.
I'm thinking I'll go that route next summer.

Got a question though. IF I were to do the summer hand program w/ Rowan, where would I have to drive too...not Tx huh?
They send you to which ever rig needs the hands. Some of them work in the yard. It's been a while sense I worked on a Rowan rig, but I remember the summer help used to get crapped on. lol. Unless you were part of the family or kin to one of the big shots.

I'm a good sized guy, so they could have fun trying to mess with me. I'd take a little cr_p, b/c I'd be the new guy, but **** me off and it won't be good.

I was curious as to where I'd have to drive for departure (I wouldn't want to drive to Houston, Tx just to fly to a rig in the Gulf).

Anyone know any other places with summer programs?

Good morning all.

Robert, I worked the, Paris, texas, Louisiana, middlan, Odesa, Middletown, and many more. I never worked on a Gorilla.

I retired from Halliburton 2 years ago after the storm. I couldn't leave my family for 2 weeks with all the damage we had to the house and store.
