Hello, I just finished NEO, and going through different trainings. I just wanted to mention that during one of the NEO classes they mentioned your channel and showed us one of your videos. Thank You for your channel!
99% of the public would think you meant Import Duty, but Mariners know 'Inport Duty' is something totally different. Thanks for what you do. To me the roughest part of MSC are the long hitches. I don't know why they do that when great mariners with families would be interested with shorter hitches. Oh well.
The hours, including the one hour lunch, and overtime pay sound great. Ever since I left the Marine Corps I've been working factory jobs, and factories, at least in Michigan, always find a way to force more work out of you in less time and for less pay so they can avoid paying overtime. Besides, I miss the sea.
I have a question I am new and looking for my first job. I’ve been considering msc for first job and signing a 36 month contract. What do you know about vacation time as I like living abroad part of the year. Thank you.
Whats life like as a OPS Chief? I’m a OS in the navy now thinking about crossing over to MSC to be a OPS Chief since i meet the requirements they have listed..is it worth it? Obviously six figure salary sounds nice but whats all the good and bad with the job?
Thanks for the helpful videos! Quick question: I've heard rumors that MSC might offer pay raises for having a master's degree, even beyond what the job description mentions. Can you confirm if this is true? Also, is it possible to qualify for a raise by pursuing a master's degree online while working with MSC? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
@@thewanderingmariner I’m a AB Domestic, but will shorty have my Able Seafarer Deck endorsement. I’m at around $26 hourly at current gig on the Great Lakes. Just trying to see if it’s worth the transition for base pay hourly at MSC. Thanks a lot for your helpful videos!
Waiting on a call from the Recruiter. (Requested a call.). QMED A-SE RFPEW VPDSD Lifeboatman/ PSC. Application is only waiting on Fed Referral Letter SF-50(?). If they are desperate where is the call? Still paying a bonus for sign on at this time.
1. It's the government (That will make more sense later) 2. They are not desperate.... recruiters get paid the same no matter. Thanks for sharing and the best of luck.
@@thewanderingmariner Funny. 7pm tonight I got an email from the East Coast Recruiter on a SATURDAY NIGHT. I have an appointment to talk with Mr Loy on Monday.

If you successfully managed the Corp... MSC will be easy days. What was your MOS?
@@thewanderingmariner 8152/0311
Security Forces and Infantry.
I was a 8152/0311. Security Forces and Infantry Rifleman
If I was a 18 year old man, I would get my O.S certification and head right to M.S.C and start a career. Zero doubt in my mind. That's my path
Good videos man keep them coming thanks alot 🤝🤝
More to come!
Thank you so much for answering my question! This info is invaluable.
You are so welcome!
I have a question I am new and looking for my first job. I’ve been considering msc for first job and signing a 36 month contract. What do you know about vacation time as I like living abroad part of the year. Thank you.
Very informative, thank you.
Thanks for being here.
I was a ammotech in the marine core and was wondering if MSc had a job that specifically fun’s around ammo and transporting it
If you become a officer. Yes. But for the most part, other than storing and working with the transferring to the Navy, not really.
Hi, Great Channel! How much O.T. are the AB (W) getting these days...on an unrep ship? Compared to AB (M) on the same ship?
Depends on the ship
Should I just stick with AB until I have 1080 days at sea to become a 3rd officer
Tonights video touched on it briefly.
Whats life like as a OPS Chief? I’m a OS in the navy now thinking about crossing over to MSC to be a OPS Chief since i meet the requirements they have listed..is it worth it? Obviously six figure salary sounds nice but whats all the good and bad with the job?
It's on the list. Probably a week or two. Stay tuned 😉
@@thewanderingmariner i just got out of the navy after 9 years, i was a QM2 so im definitley interested too!!

Working on my application, how the heck you get this DOT drug test done ?lol the website for the coastguard it’s so outdated

Not that I know of. I know they pay additional for holding a Masters License..... but not a degree.
Can you talk about NEO
Tonight's video
What’s the hourly pay?
Depends on position 🤔
