What documents are you referring to?

So whatever happened to this guy

First time I saw this done was in the movie JAWS.

Thank you for this. Looking to join the SIU soon.

A vessel owner/Captain actually can sign off saying you did "x" amount of time on a trawler or fishing boat.

I would rather die than return to 80's conditions. VHS tapes, the same ones over and over, cassette walkman players that warped with the ship's inconsistent power supply, no fresh coffee pods, telegrams, money orders, long distance phone calls in African phone booths, magnetic board games note: our only video game setup was playing on the hacked employer's computer. Tale as old as time : Do not forget your Woolley pulley!

With the two years after, won’t that be enough for them to become 2nd officers ?

Best sheep shank demo EVER! Knot! jk. Was excellent.

Why do ppl always freak out about drug test😅 how about not doing drugs and you wont be worried

I'm still missing the videos. Hope all is well. :) Starting Piney Point Jan 2025.

I'm 32. I have an associates degree but not a bachelors. SIU or CAL Maritime Academy for 4 years? Or would it be for 2 years? I'm stuck at an impasse, someone help! I'm debt free/unemployed with no trustfund to back me. What would yall do?

Can you please please answer this question. For the SIU is there a age cap. So I am an older person older than 40 years old. I was wondering if older people going to The apprentice program also. I'm not talking about piney point.

Is it possible to get a job on a ship as an ordinary seaman without doing the apprenticship? If you did the MMC and STCW training yourself?

Make some more videos dude.... my friend is on the ship with you now. Spoke to him last night.

Who knew… The ‘Love Boat’. Awesome. Going into PP… July 29th

I get what you are saying but it is a manly job, and it is nothing wrong with wanting to do masculine work. women like feminine work usually. Gender roles are not bad. Nature.

Joe sent me! This is my first video I am watching on your channel.

Why did you stop making videos is everything ok?

just letting you know i started watching you towards the end of 2022. Currently about to finish 4th phase of the program. Thanks for all the info you shared man. Life changing 👍

Sure miss your posts man.

Depending on your Hall, your Port Agent will guide you through the process. After I sent in my app, I got an email from the local Agent here, had me come in for an interview and the tests, then I got the email from the School with all the info they needed. I paid the medical fee to the Hall and the Agent set me up to schedule my medical.

I am at phase 2 now, got my TWIC, passport, and did my physical exam. I have an appt on the 8th of May to get a supplemental doc filled out, then I can get the MMC

Do you need high school diploma or ged to get in the apprenticeship

Really helpfull, cheers!

IM TRYING TO GET IN GOT TO ASK DOES A WIPER WORK 12 HOURS A DAY WITH STANDING ALL THE TIME AND DOES IT DIFFER BY SHIP

you are not sure of what are you talking about,.

what about going to the port side? is it the same calculation?

So you pack your work clothes for phase 2 before heading to Piney Point for phase 1?

The reality is, when it comes to school, you may take out all of thee loans and then STILL drop out because of any sort of situation and be stuck with the loans, or you may graduate when the economy is in a recession and have to work as an AB anyway. It's a lot more risky to take on debt that people think.

Swallow your tobacco before explaining

I leave next month 🎉

Tom was hella cool 😂😂 I was deck he engine

Lol this was my phase 2 ship. Shoutout captain jeremy 💯🙏🏾

Great video! Thanks for your explanation on the wiper arms with slack causing wipers to go over the sides. I gotta check mine to see how much movement I have and most likely change the arms and wiper motor as mine went out today.

My son got accepted to move on to step 2. He already has his passport and his TWIC. He needs his MMC. My question is does he need his physical in order to apply for his MMC?

No more videos??

I'm about to start a job with USPS as a carrier and this would be great to have in the truck

Seen this late but at 180 days as a os can’t you just go to AB OSV take your AB test now your getting AB pay but won’t have to test when you get the days for special or unlimited

Nice job

I don’t know why my man doesn’t have at least 100k subscribers

Do you get paid to go through SIU? How did you keep a job while going through the apprenticeship.
