@B3ani I was already vaccinated when I went and I showed them my Covid 19 vaccination Card. I don't know if I could have went if I was not vaccinated. I also did end up working as a seafood processor for Alaska Leader Fisheries. It was a great experience.
Have you seen people from the siu that have graduated the un licensed apprenticeship program go to get licensed in deck/engine at AMerican maritime officers - AMO in Florida to become a licensed engineer, Maryland institute of technology in (MD) MTAGS mate program to become a third mate, MEBA Calhoun school for engineering in Easton, or ILA international longshoreman association to become a longshoreman? Thanks
Hello, Bigtime911 Yes, I do know people that went through the SIU apprenticeship program then later became licensed deck/engine officers. Everyone’s journey was different. Some went through the SIU to become a 3rd mate because the SIU has a unlicensed to 3rd mate program. Other people that I know once they got their 1080 days of sea time they took whatever other few classes they needed at SIU or other schools then went and took the coast guard tests to become licensed. Once they passed the coast guard tests/requirements some of them join AMO and MEBA. Some even stayed with SIU because SIU has deck/engine officers position on tugs. I don’t know anyone that did it with MTAGS. Longshoremen are different from merchant seaman. You can’t transfer your MMC endorsements or sea time to become a longshoreman but your TWIC card would help you in that field.
