      @James Schoonmaker Although it might seem like shit, that's only when you are a cadet afaik... and cadets only work for like 1-2 years until promotion I'd say. Besides it's not that bad, since you already basically live on the ship with free food and housing, so by the time you get back to shore you'll have a lot to work with.

      Terrell Kirkland go to your local “SIU Hall “ just google SIU Hall it should pop up,go there then you can link up to a recruiter, it has two phases one phase last a month and the other one 90 days ,in the first phase you’ll need to do an application at the hall,present two letters of recommendation,do a simple maths and English test,no court cases,then wait for a confirmation to proceed to the second phase in which you’ll need to get a “TWIC Card”,do a cost guard drug test and physical apply for an “MMC Card “ present a dentist letter that says you got no mouth work and that’s it at this stage you’ll be scheduled a for a class.Good luck Future mariners!!!!

      When the school opened in the 70’s a lot of the young men where “troubled youth”, who needed a fresh perspective.

      @bslturtle Před 2 lety +5

      The point of the school is A. teach you stuff you need to know, B. Make you capable of taking more BS than you thought you could stand. Shipboard life is not like life on shore and many people get weird after a few days at sea. Great money though. Save it and you can have a great life, mortgage free home. I did it in less than 6 years, worked my butt off.
