Well the oilfield has left many people without jobs and some with different positions.I have been with the same company for 11 years and through 3 different owners.The first 8 years i was a Allison Transmission Mechanic worked all over Texas,Mexico and Louisiana.The last three I took the position as a Project Manager..We have not had a paying job in our shop for 2 months now.We have laid off 13 in Victoria.Shut the doors on our Houston,Grand Junction,and Canada shops and I have still survived the cuts.Last week i was asked if i would travel to Liberty TX and work for 2 weeks.Course i said what ever it takes.So i have been there a couple days now.When this morning i was asked by the VP if i liked to travel and I said sure.Well i was sent home after some clothes and my Passport and i leave tomorrow at 3pm headed for Norway...I will be spending 15 to 20 days in Norway rebuilding the Draw works on a Offshore Rig.So wish me luck and see you all at Caddo.
