    In the end,you will still be a grunt chipping rust and mixing paint while the guys watching from the wheel house are academy grads, you cant get your time and study for a 3 2 l or masrters license unless the hrs are working the job, ( like 3rd mate) some adamy class room time counts as sea time, 3rd mates take an everage of 10 yrs to reach Master, try it with SIU and it would be closer to 16- 17 yrs (thats for say a😮 500 ton Master) if you want a true unlimited weight, all oceans, Captains lisence, you will 99% of the time need a 4yr at an academy degree, and no part of wiping or chipping/ painting will be on that test.working on a ship and commanding a ship are 2 very different paths, start out right if want command.

    I would rather die than return to 80's conditions. VHS tapes, the same ones over and over, cassette walkman players that warped with the ship's inconsistent power supply, no fresh coffee pods, telegrams, money orders, long distance phone calls in African phone booths, magnetic board games note: our only video game setup was playing on the hacked employer's computer.

The Coast Guard defines a QMED qualified member of the engine department as any person below officer and above the rating of wiper in the engineering department. The QMED performs a variety of tasks in the engine room, fire-room, machine shop, steering-engine room and more. QMED is also the entry level for any merchant marine Engineering Officers License. QMED’s are not restricted by the type or size of the vessel and your area of expertise will define your rating. Each QMED rating must be endorsed separately, unless one qualifies for all QMED ratings. The duties of QMED include but not limited to - inspection of equipment such as pumps, turbines, distilling plants, and condensers; lubrication and maintenance of generators, steering systems, lifeboats, and sewage disposal systems; cleaning and restoration of tools and other equipment.
