Talk:Roughneck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pretty good article, though there are a few things wrong in the Oilpatch Roughneck section. The Derrickhand does not catch the samples, the worm does this job. Many if not most land based drilling rigs have only a four man crew, so the motorhand, which is more commonly called the Motorman, is the chainhand as well. Throwing the spinning chain is not illegal.

If you see incorrect facts in the article, by all means, be bold and correct them! :-) --Tkynerd 21:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood Marines

I dont know about real Marines but in many movies and TV shows Roughnecks is a common term for a Marine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.177.172.157 (talk) 01:41, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
