I think the 3/1 month rotation that stuck to my memory was from old DynCorp/SIU contracts with MSC. They used to hire medical officers but I don’t know if those types of contracts still exist. A CIVMAR hire would be 4/1.

Offshore drilling rigs have medics assigned. Acadian has a lot of contracts. Not sure how busy they are, though, with the current downturn in offshore work. [https://acadian.com/our-company/](https://acadian.com/our-company/)

Emailed (PM) you a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if you got it?

Thanks

Let me check the spam folder. It’s pretty careful at work as I’m on the clinical side, so the inboxes are pretty tight. I’ll check and get back to you from over there tomorrow if I find it. Heading to bed now (snowing a lot here).
