yeay...i just got my result...im now both Magnetic and Ultrasonic Inspector...level II....ehhehehehe...ehhh not planning to work offshore leh...im too fat ler...scared shark will follow me around when im working...kekekekekek....

munky,
yeap....but u already got an advantage there as u are doing welding mechanical eng.....it'll be the same...especially if u are looking at welding inspector....so long as u know the welding type,equipment,joints and metallurgy...u shud be allrite...basically it is like a training...like me...straight from selling car parts...i joined a introduction course and then flew to UK to do practical course at Argyll & Ruane TP O'Neil in Rotheram...and life in the oilrig?sendri mau ingat fren....u wake up...go out...nothing but sea....ahahahahah....like my fren....he have to wait for about a month for the bloody helicopter to fly to the oilrig...its not as simple as 2 weeks on 2 weeks off...sometime it depends whether the chopper is coming and whether they can squeeze u or not....and u also have to take like a survival ticket...like air steward...u need to know how to survive if ur chopper crash at sea and all....extra requirement...but damn big bucks man...

[munky]

Satanic,
I think you got confused hehe. Im not doing welding mechanical engineering. Just mechanical engineering. But the course did teach me about welding and how to weld also. And i did learn metallurgy subject. So i guess i can go into this path also.

About the chopper crash, haha that is the thing that im afraid of. Although the pay is damn good, im not ready to die early hahaha. So we'll see hehe

im not an offshore employee, but i have friends that work offshore. ROV engineers, and commercial diver. Pay is good, but you will suffer for a bout 30-60 days. 12 hour shift work, under the high temeprature. Not something which everyone can take it, especially commercial diver.

Hello guys. Im actually offshore at the moment. Evo5755, noticed u have friends who work offshore as ROV & divers. What are their names? Ive been in this industry about 5 ys now, started doing ROV, inspection, now with saturation diving (heliox), but im lucky, almost never get in sun... hehehe. Now currently in gulf of thailand for Chevron, boycott malaysian waters- have to pay lots on tax!! :regular_smile:

boset test is not what you should be worried about, it's the medical test before signing up for boset.

"sir, please remove your undergarments and jump for me"
anyone kena that one?

 

[escaflowne]

ahaha i kena is " underwear down plz sir "..haha..luckily i din kena the jumping part..

[boggysv]

btw whey the heck do they need you to jump up and down nakid?aiyoh...if got 20" kkc nemind leh....ahhahahahahaah

I dunno, first he ask me to cough, then he said "lompat sikit".
no one kena meh? I asked a medical friend and he said something about "inguinal hernia". All my collegues also got kena, but some no need to jump.

Esca, ok ok la, got this summer internship with Mokveld, can consider quite lucky. But quite scarry when handling the equiptments, especially tungsten cages.

SantaniC, mahem...batam where got ppl work wan? Bring some usd or singaporean dollars there and can be like king liao.
My experience with people at Batam, their sense of punctuality is next to zero. 9 out of 10 guys are liars, and the food there is....meh.

You sure you want to go there?
