Appreciate the honesty. I'm going to become a Merchant Mariner as well. I have my TWIC, Medical certificate, MMC book coming soon, passport, etc. I'm in procress of going in the SIU apprenticeship program. I hope you have a successful 2024. Thank you for providnig these videos for us new comers.
I hope I do too. And good luck to you bro. Make the best of it. And push for whatever position you trying to get into and go hard on it. Don't get too caught up into the making of money that you don't advance your career. Money is going to come. advance as soon as possible.
@@MikeMills1 Yes sir! That’s my plan. Going to be an Engineer. Definitely looking to advance in that field and not remain stagnant. You gave great advice on this. This opportunity will open up doors for me financially to invest in the future.
You got this 💪🏾
What is a medical certificate
@@LJmccray31 a medical card you apply for after getting your merchant Mariner physical done
I have been with your channel since may be I think 2021 🎉😊
Much love 🙌🏽
Thanks for your videos bro I'm going to merchant seaman training next month that 5 day 40hr training out hear in Florida I do have a one question do you have to know how to swim to be out there on sea or do they have the body suits u can were while doing your job
I mean its definitely recommended but as long as you can float and tread water you should be fine
Hey Mike...I sail out of Norfolk, VA. where are you out of?
Shit same. Who you sailing with? I'm trying to come over lol
Good content bro !! Question: I just got on with MSC as a AB and I go to NEO on February 26th.. What should I expect in Neo and working for MSC
Lol as an AB you in the money now. Go ahead and try to get on an AKE(ammo ship) you'll be aight bro. Unreps and flight quarters gonna get you paid
@@MikeMills1 I’m curious what the AB money looking like 👀
Did you have to pay for any training classes on your own to give yourself a better chance at getting selected?
No, they send you to school. But if you wanna come in with a better chance at moving to an higher position faster. Take classes in whatever department you tryna be in
Hi! Thanks for sharing. Quick question I’m starting my NEO soon, do they pay you for the 2 weeks you’re in Neo ? & also do they pay you when you’re in the pool waiting for your ship ?
Yes for both
I have now have all my Credentials that site do go to look for entry level job search ?
@@ryanwoollery1547 uhhh I heard interlake steamship is good. Try siu. Or wait for msc to be hiring again. But I'd say go to your nearest SIU hall and apply for thr apprenticeship program
I just got my twic and merchant mariner credential how do I go about working on a ship .
getting your medical certificate and passport. then applying for a company that is hiring entry levels
@@MikeMills1what website can I use to perform this task ?
When you land and the port agent picks you up does that get you expedited passage through customs?
Depends. Some places I have had an agent and sometimes I don't and I gotta fend for myself lol. My first flight when I landed in Korea I had an agent that had to escort me through everything cuz we was already running late I was the last passenger on the flight
I forgot to ask when it comes to lap tops MacBooks what kind would you refer a person to buy
Shoot depends on what you plan on doing. I have a Lenovo but I use it to edit.
Basically just watching movies, videos ,music social media, videos, photos
@@LJmccray31 shit a basic Toshiba can do that. Or a Samsung
Lol
Hey friend! I have my passport sent off, twic appointment the end of the month. What should I do in the meantime?
Print out the medical certificate sheet and go get your physical and drug test and print out the mmc paperwork and fill it on amd once you have your drug test results mail them in. But wait for your twic to mail it in
*don't mail twic in you just need the expiration date for the mmc paperwork I believe
Do you work as a federal employee and earn FERS retirement?
I do and I think I get the FERS retirement I would have to check what kind of retirement I have
Yeah it's FERS
I start my school. Next month night class
Night class?
When u become a merchant seamen do you have to re apply each year
Apply for..????
If I live in Georgia can I still be a merchant marine but live in GA?
Can live wherever you want depending the company
Do the ships have free WIFI?
On msc ships they do not unless in specific ports. But never out to sea
Was u on the us supply ship
Usns supply? No
@@MikeMills1oh because I was showing one of your videos to the cook on the Carl city and she said she knew u and tell u she said wassup and sum about a food fight and rice krispie treats
@yigmai9472 oh you was asking if I was on the usns supply ever? Lol yeah back in the day you must be talking bout Ole girl cowboys fan?
Yea
@@yigmai9472 lol rice Krispys is wild. 🤣🤣
Just a question regarding your pay. Not to get too personal obviously but you said that you worked about 4 months. Is this more due to covid/getting things renewed and less to do about the availability of jobs you can apply for?
Oh yeah that 100% had to do with getting my things renewed and covid.
Thank you man, I'd love to email you, I have some questions about the industry
Email me or hit my DMs on insta
What is a medical certificate for
Lol really nothing just a money grab fir the coast guard. But you have to get it.
😂
Does merchant seaman have good benefits/health insurance
@@LJmccray31 most companies do. Yes
Uh oh most 😂
AIN’T NO WAY! You also don’t have the vaccine bro 😳 This is what set me back also! I didn’t get to use my degree, I worker at In N Out! But this is GREAT news! Cuz’ I just need my drug test now with my MM credential application!
I do not have the vaccine yes. And yeah prolly let that degree go if you can't get a job haha. Come out here smd get this money
This the first video I watched. For someone who is currently in the navy whose done 8 years and E6 rank/pay grade.
What are the perks of trying to be MSC for my situation? Does my time served in the military transfer over for retirement?
What level would I start at?
Do I have to do NEO from what I’m hearing it’s just bootcamp.
Your time rolls over, if you have any collateral certifications you might be able to get a spot depending on what it is. I'd check that before even coming in. You might be able to have something put on your mmc. Or you might need to take a class but even if you do that and pay for it yourself. It'll be easy.
