For the most part the show is pretty realistic to what actually goes down in the field, minus a few things. But its crazy the amount of terrain that the BP has to cover. There is this one ranch near the Rio Grande we patrol on and on our side we have high bluffs while the mexican side is pretty flat. Its quite a cool view to look 360 degrees and see nothing but brush and water.
