Because people really frick with each other in this industry. Nothing to it, just good fun. But his reaction to it will say a lot about him. Best just to take it and have a sense of humor.

The shut up thing is excellent advice for any newb at any job. Just be a self starter and a go getter and everything seems to work itself out.

They do work. Usually pretty hard. Messing with each other just makes it more enjoyable. If you've got the right mind set.

Because you are in the middle of effing nowhere doing a dangerous job that is hard work. Because the ones who are there worked through it. Because if you can't take hazing, you won't make a hand.

Then you probably wouldn't enjoy it .
But that's cool. That's why you can do something else. You have options.

That's the great thing about Merica. Screwed up as it is at times, everyone has a choice.

I've met some of the coolest people ever who are "working these jobs." Don't know how you could mean that respectfully.
