"Turnover is your leadership indicator." - Russell Williamson, President & CEO, ROPE Solutions
The joke on a lot of rigs is, let's see if the new guy makes it to lunch. Russell's version is different. Let's make sure he makes it to lunch. Then the next day. Then ninety days. Then a career.
Who made sure you made it to lunch on your first day? Give him a shout below.
We asked four of our coaches why they do this. A Green Beret said purpose. A combat aviation advisor said it doesn't feel like a job. A Marine gunnery sergeant said he wasn't looking for it and now he's glad every day. A casualty evacuation pilot said it helps him smile more than frown.
The mission does not end when the uniform comes off. For these four, it moved to a rig floor.
If you are a veteran still looking for the next mission, this one is worth a minute of your day.
Dallas Bozeman grew up an Alabama kid. Before the Alabama vs. South Carolina game, he stood on the field in his home stadium as the University of Alabama's Hero of the Game, with his wife Kimberly and their two kids there to share it.
Ask him about it and he points straight at them. "They're the ones that made all the sacrifices. They're the ones that missed anniversaries and missed birthdays."
It was his son's first Bama game, and he is already talking about going to school there someday.
Dallas served in the Air Force as an EOD tech and earned two Purple Hearts. Today he leads leadership development for our coaches and the crews they work with.
Congratulations, Dallas, and thank you to Kimberly and the kids for everything they gave along the way. Roll Tide. Leave him a note below.

ROPE Solutions has been named a Pro Patria Award recipient by the Mississippi State Committee of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). The committee also presented ROPE CEO Russell Williamson with the Patriot Award, and ROPE has been nominated for the Secretary of War Employer Support Freedom Award.
ESGR is a national U.S. Department of War program, established in 1972, that promotes cooperation between the men and women who serve in the National Guard and Reserve and their civilian employers. The Pro Patria Award is the highest honor an ESGR state committee can give. Each committee presents it to one small, one large, and one public sector employer a year, in recognition of leadership and practices that make it easier for employees to serve.
The Patriot Award goes to an individual supervisor and comes from a nomination by the service member who works for them. The Freedom Award is the highest recognition the U.S. Government gives an employer for supporting employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve, with up to 15 presented nationwide each year.
Most of us at ROPE wore a uniform before we ever set foot on a rig floor. Some of our people still do.
To our teammates carrying two missions at once: thank you. To the ESGR volunteers who make this recognition happen: thank you.
"Every crew is a good crew. We're just there to show them they can be a little bit better." - Andres Santiago, ROPE coach
Andres learned it in the Ranger Regiment: the best coaching starts with respect for the people already doing the work. Nobody out here needs saving. A good crew with somebody who cares enough to find the next half-second gets great.
Tell us about the crew that made you better. We read every one.
Keith Proze measures culture change one way: what a crew does when they think he is not looking. The briefing nobody had to push for. The debrief the crew runs on its own. The high fives that were not being given before.
That is when a coach knows the work stuck, and it is the best feeling in this job.
Give somebody on your crew the high five he earned this week. Watch what it starts.

Every crew looks aligned in the morning meeting. Five of our coaches share the tests that show what is really there: what the crew does when nobody is watching, whether complaints turn into ideas, how smooth things stay when the job goes sideways, whether they are having fun with it, and what the texts say after the hitch.
Swipe through, then be honest: how many would your crew pass this week?
Some of the best coaches on our team have admitted the same quiet thing: they wrestle with imposter syndrome. Russell Williamson on why that doubt keeps a leader sharp and honest instead of holding him back.
If you have ever walked into a room and wondered whether you belonged in it, you are in good company here.
"If you're going to fail, fail safely. Because at the end of the day, everybody needs to go home." - Mark Slatton, ROPE coach
Mark says it at every rig he works, and crews keep saying it after he leaves. It starts with the honest part nobody puts on a poster: we are going to fail out here, every one of us. The job is keeping every failure the kind you can talk about tomorrow.
Share this one with a hand who needs to hear it before his next hitch.
