That’s my biggest concern. I have a lot to support and can’t take off 6 months so I’m trying to figure out the best way to navigate becoming a merchant Marine. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
When you are in the apprenticeship program, how is health insurance handled? Is it you just have the staff nurse available? What happens if something bad happens health-wise? Thanks!
Hey Dave, it’s mostly the staff nurse although if it’s more serious they’ll take you to a doctor. If it’s real serious, you’ll probably have to go home to take care of it yourself. Once you’re on a ship they cover you.
Start Oct.24.... lots of worry about being without income... Thanks for content
How’s the school? The lack of income is difficult, but hopefully, you’re able to get overtime once you ship.
@@todaysmodernpirate No comment.
@@Lucas-dw4ws no good ? Any suggestions?

Do you need a Highschool diploma or GED to get into the apprenticeship?
I don’t know, but I don’t think so. That’d be a good question to ask admissions or your union hall.
I start phase 1 tomorrow. How long is it
16 weeks
Is that you doing third phase?
Yessir
