Oilfield Baws - Have you ever seen anyone cry on the rig?

If so. What happened next?
Also how was your first time spinning chain on the rig. Did you practice in your back yard prior to working on the rig? Are the baws that can't spin chain looked down upon by their elite tier chain spinning baws?

For us non-baws, what is spinning chain?

I saw one many years ago cry after he was thrown in a border patrol vehicle that appeared from nowhere.

I don't think I ever saw anyone cry......not even the guy who pulled all the meat off his finger and left nothing but a bone sicking out.
You wont find a spinning chain on any decent rig these days.
I'm long gone from the oilfield, only did it to get thru college. But i could throw the frick out of a chain.

Its like when you sling a chain around a pipe. From what I've heard only the alpha rig hands are capable of this.

Isn't this a huge no-no now?

I have never really been around roughnecks but I don't know how anyone can live in TX, OK, LA etc and not know what throwing chain and tripping pipe mean.
