@@Mariwicked Hey how was the EQIP and how long did it take for them to complete it?

@@Lioness_0007 eqip was long ngl but I was doin 2 things at once (at work) I think it took them a couple weeks,, i don’t even remember 😂

@@Mariwicked Thanks so much for the info

@@noelevryd nah they changed it so basically Phase 1 is still 4months once you finish the 4 months you basically in the union by then you just gotta do two trips as a entry level 1st trip is 60 day’s second trip is 120 then you can upgrade to the next rating and officially join the siu as a b book

@@mrchillin5326 nope because you have to send the Uscg your med cert in order to get your mmc

@@lowlifesailor9042 Thank you

@@mrchillin5326 yup pretty much just make sure it’s in pdf

@@lowlifesailor9042 Thank you

Try mid fifty three careers and working on land I may need something very different.

@@gerald542 I don't understand your comment.

@@vorteco7692 I'm say I'm 53 and looking to change into another career. Mid thirty is nothing to start a new career.

@gerald542 oh. Sorry, I hadn't realized that we were competing. Congrats on the new career.

@@vorteco7692 No competing here. 30 is better than fifty to start this career. good luck.

Same thing happened to me so basically they do count but only towards your mmc/medical certificate siu wants you to do there own physical and drug test at a specific company for the program

@@lowlifesailor9042 thank you

My pay currently is about 7k a month after taxes I clear about 5k a month

@@lowlifesailor9042damn thats higher than i thought what state are you in

@@tkooo_504 it doesn’t matter what state your in it’s about what ship your on and currently I’m on the Green Bay for seabulk

I’m with siu but the ship I’m currently on is called the Green Bay

It is most definitely a lot of fresh out of high school kids there but there are also a lot of older ppl the oldest person I met there was like 60 but it really ranges from 18-35 is the majority

Lol I was the same way I didn’t know what I was signing up for at all but I’m glad I did I’m happy with the path I chose for myself yeah you may have up’s and downs but it’s still good money also a really good experience

If you're reporting in Jan 2025, I'll see you there!

Yes they have a well equipped gym at piney point and yes for like 2 weeks you will be working out with the head commandant while in galley I believe

Yup you are still required to have a Covid shot

It’s not mandatory but I was told that the Jacksonville hall isn’t accepting anymore c cards

Yes your getting paid more when your out on the boat during your training now because there putting ua on entry level jobs

Thank you and it’s vibewith_darri

I started the process with SIU in February this year and have a class date of Jan. Seems they're backed up about 11 months. 10 months from your interview date. roughly.

Thanks a lot for staying tuned in and yeah I’ve heard their backed all the way up until June of next year

@@lowlifesailor9042 yeah that kinda suck but I will still move forward and apply one I get my MMC. Keep up posted with your journey 🤗

My port interview was in march after doing my paperwork in feb. My report date is Jan 2025 and that is earlier than they expected. Some people don't follow through and I moved up the list. They originally told me March 2025. Looks like they're telling people 1 year from their interview date.

@@vorteco7692 Oh wow that’s such a long wait time but thanks so much for this information and apologies for replying so late.

I’m on the Green Bay and yes I’m a wiper

The union I’m in is siu but right now I’m on one of the lowest paying green ships

So to answer your question every ship is different I’ve been on two ships so far and my schedule has always been from 0600-170 (6am to 5pm) you don’t really get any days off unless you have a really good crew and they let you off while your in port also every Sunday we get off at around 3pm to do some “cleaning in our rooms”

But my schedule ranges from Monday-sat 0600 to 1700 then Sunday 0600 to 1500 In between we have 2 breaks one at 10:00-10:30 and then another one at 1500-15:30 we also have our meal breaks Breakfast 7:10-0800 Lunch 11:40-1300 Dinner 1640 (we usually knock off by then)

Being a woman in this field never really stopped me I like to stay to myself and keep thing practical I don’t talk about race religion or politics because those are some very sensitive subjects for ppl on ships but I’ll do a video going more in-depth about my whole experience

Lol thank you for staying tuned in I appreciate y’all and either way you still going to get to the bag 😭💰
