ECO Captains - What to Pack

Have a few questions about Chouest, if anyone could give me some info it would be appreciated alot. Sat next to a chief who works for them on my plane ride home the other day and he had nothing but good things to say, gave me his card and wanted me to call thier office when ever i was ready. How are things down there for a licensed assistant engineer on an OSV ??? Im very happy where im at, like the company and the crew. finishing up my DDE right now and just wanted to hear from some guys who are there or have been there. Im looking for 28-14, and the money was outrageous, i asked him to repeat it 3 times just so i heard him right, so can anyone shed some light on if im making a mistake applying there in a few months ??
