are you working 12 hr shifts, 7 days a week? or just your standard 8-5 type shifts? i would imagine with 2 weeks on & 1 week off, you're doing 10-14 hr days

Reminds me of a photo essay you might find in National Geographic. Well done!

So far, so good. I am getting along fine with the new environment and job. Much better than Afghanistan or Iraq.

Yes, I do not come out of pocket for much of anything up here. I literary have flown out here with $40 in my wallet and after my two week rotation, flown back to Vegas with $30. (bought some socks)

Everything I posted is company provided. And I have not experienced the winter out here yet.

I work 12-18 hour shifts 14 days straight. Some companies have rotations of 2 weeks on/2 weeks off, 4 weeks on/2 weeks off, or 8 weeks on, 3 weeks off.

Most companies are flexible with their schedule and will try to accommodate employees to have a quality work/life balance.

As far as housing options go.
