When the Job Gets Real — Fast

When the Job Gets Real — Fast
[00:00:00] “We’re up on the crown checking hydraulics and valving, and he looks at me and says, ‘I’m gonna be sick.’ I told him, ‘Don’t you dare put anything in your mouth.’ He had chewing gum — that’s what I told him to use.”
J. Len Sciuto explains what happened next:
“He did get sick… and the guys drilling for oil down below did not appreciate it. Let’s just say it wasn’t a good inspection day for him.”
But the work didn’t stop there:
“When we got back to the States, I was waiting on his inspection books. He had to document what we inspected and what the recommendations were. We issue a Coast Guard certificate so those vessels are allowed to return to the United States.”
A reminder that offshore inspections aren’t theory — they’re high-risk, real-world operations with real consequences. The same authenticity Sciuto brings to his fiction.
