  • This is a week in the life of a Merchant Mariner. These last couple of weeks have been absolutely crazy , I haven’t been able to post videos because I’ve simply just haven’t had good enough service to post. So I hope this video makes up for it .
    In this video I’ll be showing you guys how a week in my life of here on the ship goes , I also threw a pay segment into the video just to give you guys more of an idea of what I make out here . No sugar coding .. keep it real & straight to the point . Hopefully I’m able to post more videos here soon … but until then I’ll see you guys next time !
    But I hope you guys enjoy the video &

    No lie you the only one not only showing paychecks but also showing work duties. Keeping your head up and staying positive is the only way to make it out there.

    Wassup bruh, I was going to tell you that I appreciate what you're doing, Just remember there are thousands of people out there that are interested in doing this, so when you are doing the videos every day of your job and what life is like every day its going to help them and it's going to help your TH-cam channel grow as well. So that's extra income that you will make just by creating videos of your job and and showing them what you do on a daily basis. So keep creating videos every day when you go out to work. And then post whenever you can. I'm trying to decide if I want to do SIU first or MSC . I'm waiting on my twic then I'm going to send off for my MMC.

    Hey bro, I love your videos. I work on ferry boat vessel right now for the state. (Tx). I am very interested. But I have a few questions to ask. I read on siu program it said you need 20/20 vision. My right eye is perfect but left eye is poor. Will this effect me getting in ? Also, im 38 years old. Is their an age cut-off? How long between phases ? Do you need another job between phases ? Thank you for your videos. I really want to do this. Thanks bro....

    • @elijahdiallo9766
      @elijahdiallo9766 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Their is an eye test that is part of your physical exam so you’ll need to be able to pass tht. I don’t think Their is a age cut off. I have a 50 year old woman in my class that’s in the program and she’s doing just fine. First phase is 15 weeks, then u go straight to second phase is 2months for deck or 120 days steward I think, after second phase you get to go home, and the other phases I’m not too sure how long they are. I doubt you’d need a job after second phase.

      @@jauntewade1946 It already is though. There's a federal mandate requiring all companies with over 100 employees to have a 100% vaccination rate. That goes into effect on December 8th, and it's highly unlikely anything is going to prevent it from going through.
      This mandate started out as only affecting government contractors, but was expanded upon. Given the amount of military freight that gets moved on ships, I'd say that most large shipping companies will be considered military contractors.
