[QUOTE=josh.reid24;165299]Just out of curiosity, why does everyone talk so much shit about deckhand/AB’s? Or vise versa, deckeneer/Oilers… Hell weren’t y’all there also? I’ve caught alot of hell and been on quite a few different boats. But where I catch the most shit is from 100 ton captains… Big boat guys will let you work, correct you when needed, and if you don’t change set your shit on the dock for you… 100 ton captains will never cut you any slack, always crying and bitching and complaining even when your doing your job… I don’t mind the occasional asshole cause hell, I’m a dick myself… But why so much shit talk?[/QUOTE]
You ever see the “JB Wentworth commercial, i want my money and i need it now” ??? That explains the logic behind most guys coming out here today. I came out here at the end of a downturn when jobs where short and things wherent as friendly and PC as they are now. The saying @ PB&J fleet was that a 200 and 2 bucks would buy you a cup of coffee, all the new guys looked at you funny when they heard it was 5-6yrs to go steering. Seeing the same shit with the word “Chief” now, had a dirtbag unlicensed guy tell me he was gods great gift and an “officer” a few weeks ago, about fell over laughing. My point is alot of the newer guys arent hungry, and expect it to be given to them, or they stop advancing themselves with the minimum amount of paperwork and talk shit about the guys who do better.
