Battlefield to Oilfield

Advisor

John Amos Austin, TX

Battlefield to Oilfield does not offer training to people looking to be drillers unless you have a 10% VA Rating. Can someone here please tell me where else a veteran can receive such training without the VA rating. I have been trying to get in the oil field as a driller or a derrick hand and I keep getting shut down. Any advise will be gladly appreciated.

Thank You.

Check out this site - http://careers.slb.com/recentgraduates/engineering/field_spec.aspx

From the website -
"If you hold at least a 2-year technical diploma or associate degree, or have military experience, you can apply for a position as a Field Specialist."
"As a Schlumberger Field Specialist, you’ll go through an initial 5-year fixed-step training program. But the job and the responsibility are real from day one."

Hope this helps.

Craig
