I appreciate you answer my previous questions in this video. It really is the adventure, time off, and not seeing and doing the same thing every day i care most about going into this field. The pay will come especially after i move up but sitting at my office job in corporate America is killing me faster than anything on that ocean.

Do you think you could do a follow up video to this and just give your thoughts on different ships in MSC. For example what you might do on a dry goods/ammo ship, to hospital, etc. And the reputations of different MSC clarifications?
Best, and happy 4th

What are the MWR on the MSC ships compared to the MWR on the union ships

[@thewanderingmariner]

Varies ship to ship. MSC has much more stuff IMO.

Thanks for watching and being here.

Don’t sail MSC. Sail through the union. The grass is greener over there.

How do you get on special mission boats

[@thewanderingmariner]

You would be assigned by your detailing representative.

[@user-qb4iz3gv7c]

For MSC, I can request to be on a special mission boat. Just ask my detailing rep ?

Is it hard to get a MMC book with a DUI?
