Security kept pretty good tabs on folks at those remote sites. Wanted to know where you were heading, for how long, etc.
As someone who has never been near such a site that’s what I was wondering. A security guard who cares about what you are doing off site and on your time. Wow.
That's their job, and in my experience, they take it quite seriously and do it well. Helpful, competent and accommodating folks, all. Others' opinions may vary, but sometimes folks have unreasonable expectations. There are a lot worse gigs than Alaska pipeline facility maintenance and engineering work. Very few better gigs out there if the kids are grown and wife can manage at home alone for half the year.
