I’ve been a Nevada resident since 1981.It’s worked out well.But the state’s population is growing rapidly and I think with in the near future we will have pay state taxes.Nevada isn’t an economic choice anymore.
Hello, I have my passport and twic ready to go and just recently found a doctor that's qualified for the physical and drug test. I was just wondering what can I expect from the physical and what to work on to ensure I pass it, so I can complete my mmc portion.
Hi Jason,Great to hear that you have your passport and TWIC ready! The physical and drug test are important steps in completing your MMC process.What to Expect from the Physical: The physical exam typically includes:Vision and Hearing Tests: Ensure you meet the required standards.General Health Assessment: Check for any conditions that might impair your ability to perform duties at sea.Cardiovascular and Respiratory Tests: Evaluate your heart and lung function.Mobility and Strength: Assess your ability to perform physical tasks.How to Prepare:Stay Healthy: Maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine.Medical History: Be ready to discuss your medical history and any medications you take.Rest Well: Ensure you are well-rested before the exam.Follow Instructions: Follow any specific instructions given by your doctor before the exam.Passing the physical is crucial, so it's good to be in your best possible shape. Best of luck with your exam and completing your MMC portion!
Can you go more in depth about practicality of living abroad while in between contracts or time off. Ik you mentioned in one of your videos that people life in Thailand when not on a ship. Do people just rent property in different countries in between on ship time?
