Just ring them every day and you may get off.

Or if you know some one offshore to put word in for you.

Advanced card would help aswell.

Did you do mist aswell

and a up to date medical

You and a thousand like you Coyle. There are no shortcuts just keep banging your head on that brick wall and eventually when the locals are fed up and want home(usually around Christmas) you will get your kick in.

Remember and tell them you have never been off before. My first trip I got a taxi from the yard and they told me there was another to get picked up before the heliport and we were to meet the gaffer who was on the rig. The first question he asked me was how long have I been off and quite nonchalant told him never, his face went chalk white as he had never been off either. We reckoned the gaffer would have a fit when he found out we were newbies but I still told the man who was as cool as and said no problem he would keep me right which he did and we are still mates today. Try and kid them on and it will be very different.
