I get asked "Where are you from" every time I go to a different rig.

On the rigs, I tell them "Alaska, but born in Biloxi". Which is true.

I don't tell them I live in CA until a few days later, after they get to know me....it doesn't go over too well in this neck of the woods....


But I don't really have a hometown per sey.

Born in Biloxi, younger years in the Philippines, back to the deep South, then Alaska, with the odd year in California and Hawaii, plus Guam, Wake, Japan, Greenland, the list goes on.

Having been in every State and 7 Country's ...there is no clear answer except where I was born, and where I really grew up. (Biloxi and Anchorage)
