In the 70's oilboom, the workers were called "oilfield trash" by onlookers.

An International Society was formed, and had belt buckles, hats, shirts, and
all sorts of things.

I have two belt buckles.

I worked in the Gulf of Mexico from 1974 to 1980, then again in 1993, and a
couple of hitches in Nigeria.

Are there any other alumni here, or people who worked oilfield who didn't
get to get a t shirt?

What - no Doodlebugs ? :-) Hope I spelled that right - the window decal is around
here somewhere. Not a former member but knew them and some others that knew better.

That was the time I spent working in 20 odd states and several
countries "doodlebugging" on seismograph crews..Bendix and Western
Geophysical. I ran a shot hole rig. Did some shooting, some
observing, some jug hustling, even ran a tractor rig with a modified
ditchwitch on the back to plant primacord underground in places we
couldnt get a drill rig into. I liked the drilling down in the
Brownsville area..we got to drill with air. Beat the hell out of
standing over a mud pit in -50F weather outside of Sydney North Dakota
and trying to keep from freezing to the ground between drill sections
changes.
