I am seeking a mentor in the oil & gas industry.

I have started a niche business in pipeline leak detection using specially trained dogs and need some guidance on breaking into the oil and gas industry.

Chief Eckles,

Thank you for your service.

Leak detection for pipelines is a very complicated business. I've worked a bit in that field, and would be happy to discuss some of the issues you may face offline (no need to bore all the readers with the gory details). You can contact me directly at daveweinberg46@gmail.com.

Hello Chief Eckles,

I served 21 years also in the nuclear Navy as an MM(SW). After transfer to the inactive fleet reserve I trained and worked in subsea engineering for blowout prevention on a deep ocean drill ship for two years. Schlumberger was the biggest service company you might get on with. I'm also thinking of gas operations and refinement always need contractors and professional services. Any oil/gas company might hire you.

Currently I've completed 15 years in telecommunications and grow the network for AT&T. No limits to what a good Chief can do.

Cheers, Dave Dickens in Dallas, Texas

Merry Christmas, Mr. Eckles: I'd like to see your dream come true.
A non-renewable resource industry like the oil & gas industries are part of our vital resources currently, and despite being of non-renewable resource, are still a key to our expansion and continued research through daily life. The path you have chosen to harvest from is a uniquely honorable choice of career to capitalize upon, considering you have opened doors to unique forms of trade & training companies that are not yet existent within the market of products & services that are provided to the United States of America; and this gives you an edge on any competition in any type of company that offer any services to the USA.

I suggest you look into AngelsList.com and find yourself a sponsor. Once you secure a sponsor, you will then have the cash supplement to buy land and all other needed supplies to train and secure your service K9's. Once you hook a sponsor, you can begin business planning, and the sponsor should be able to help aid you with that part further. Establish an online presence. Hook a non-profit sponsored branch through MCP_Independent VOB Company first, and we can aid you with your online presence building free of charge while you work your corporate sponsor.
