ABOUT CPT RON — A SALTY, TRUE STORY

Fresh out of the Army and armed with welding certifications, I was searching for something more—something with purpose. I found my calling offshore. So can you!

CHAPTER 1: EXPLORING THE INDUSTRY

Get your boots muddy on what the offshore world really looks like—rigs, platforms, pay, politics, and potential.

CHAPTER 2: TYPES OF VESSELS FOUND OFFSHORE

Not all boats are created equal. Learn the difference between drillships, jack-ups, FPSOs, and the beasts that run the show.

CHAPTER 3: WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY

Life at sea ain’t for the faint of heart. What to expect from the work, the team, and the tight quarters.

CHAPTER 4: BREAKING INTO THE INDUSTRY

How to get your foot in the door when everyone wants "previous offshore experience."

CHAPTER 5: AVAILABLE POSITIONS AND WAGES

Roustabouts, Floorhands, Crane Operators, Cooks, Deckhands, ABs, Mates, Captains, and beyond. What they do, what they earn, how to apply and how fast you can move up.

CHAPTER 6: PRE-REQUISITES FOR EMPLOYMENT

Certs, tickets, and training that matter—plus where to get them without getting ripped off.

CHAPTER 7: THE JOB SEARCH

Where the real listings are, who to trust, and how to avoid the junk.

CHAPTER 8: HOW TO APPLY (AND WHY YOUR RÉSUMÉ MATTERS MOST)

They called you—don’t blow it. Here’s how to show up sharp and ready.

CHAPTER 10: ACING THE INTERVIEW

Answer tough questions. Avoid the dumb ones. Leave a strong impression.
