-use the handrails
-don't write up anybody for a safety failure your first tour. (if they are doing something wrong speak up but don't write a report for the above on somebody)
-don't bring anything that they don't allow.
-sneak food into the smoking room if they have one. usually these are food free (i snuck a big ice chest into the one on the Celtic Sea drill ship and always had is stocked for the guys when they came in.) btw my job only required about 1.5 hours of actual work so I just hung out in there.
-when the saftey guy leaves his office steal a bunch of booties. (they sometimes run out)

Like 5 people have mentioned this in this thread? Forgive my ignorance, but is this just an inside oilfield joke, or does "don't drop the soap" apply to offshore work?
Apparently they can't get a man's anus off of their mind....

Not really, but when you are new you get harassed pretty good.
A few things I heard my first hitch:
I like the way your arse tightens up when you cover the slips
You fill out those coveralls nice, before you get off this platform me and you gonna go
and of course, You sure gotta pretty mouth
Basically everybody will test you, roll with it and you'll be fine

Where are you headed? For what company.
And like it was said earlier. Don't expect good food. Just expect a lot of food.
Been out here 3 years now. Haven't had "good food"

They did the Jody thing with me my first hitch. I told them this is my first hitch while y'all have been here. I am Jody. I'm the one that's been home with your wives.
Luckily they thought it was funny. The other new guy left the second day saying he missed his dog.
As long as you have thick skin and a sense of humor, you should be ok.

If I'd ever been offshore with a guy who had to go to the bank because "he missed his dog", I'd be tellIng that story until the day I died. Classic!

Yeah it was the first and last time I heard that reason. It was funny though because he was actually serious.

Also. Bring shower shoes. Or flip flops.
Phone charger
Smokes/dip
Headphones
Some cash because most of the places I've been like to play cards or have a betting pool on something.
Remember. You are a guest in those guys house. But you aren't their bitch. If you aren't comfortable doing something. Then don't do it.
Everyone has stop work authority.
Ask questions. Listen to people who have been there

Also. Don't be afraid to frick around with someone if you know they are fricking with you. But don't assume they are fricking with you.
FYI. The key to the v-door is a real thing.
