So they pay you as you go through the program

I just got stcw endorsement and trying to join SIU but have been told is not enough..do I need a different endorsement ?
They ever say some about recording tryna get me a video in!
That aint right, the start is wrong sorry bud, the first cross is meant to bend around and lock the rope and is different to every cross after that.
20 years on deck
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.
In the end you will make WAY more money through the Academy. It all depends on how much you want your career total to be. People get loans for political science majors just to work at Starbucks. Cal Maritime Keelhaulers ⚓️
Do the guys that work in the engine room also need to pack that much cold weather gear?
You need a cut nails
So honestly how much did you make in phase 2
What documents are you referring to?
So whatever happened to this guy
I wonder the same thing all the time
I believe he was on a ship with a friend of mine a couple months back I am on a different ship but my friend was telling me he was on his ship
First time I saw this done was in the movie JAWS.
Thank you for this. Looking to join the SIU soon.
A vessel owner/Captain actually can sign off saying you did "x" amount of time on a trawler or fishing boat.
How is the food
"You are responsible for your own entertainment." Murphy's rules for Tankers
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. Tale as old as time : Do not forget your Woolley pulley!
With the two years after, won’t that be enough for them to become 2nd officers ?
Best sheep shank demo EVER! Knot! jk. Was excellent.
Why do ppl always freak out about drug test😅 how about not doing drugs and you wont be worried
I'm still missing the videos. Hope all is well. :) Starting Piney Point Jan 2025.
Just coming back again to say, I hope all is well. I hope to see another vid from you one day even if it is just to close the channel out. I miss the way you explained things and seeing life through your eyes. You had a unique perspective. Thanks for sharing as much as you did with us. Hopefully I'll see you out there, if you're still out there in the ether.
I'm 32. I have an associates degree but not a bachelors. SIU or CAL Maritime Academy for 4 years? Or would it be for 2 years? I'm stuck at an impasse, someone help! I'm debt free/unemployed with no trustfund to back me. What would yall do?
Can you please please answer this question. For the SIU is there a age cap. So I am an older person older than 40 years old. I was wondering if older people going to The apprentice program also. I'm not talking about piney point.
Is it possible to get a job on a ship as an ordinary seaman without doing the apprenticship? If you did the MMC and STCW training yourself?
Make some more videos dude.... my friend is on the ship with you now. Spoke to him last night.
Who knew… The ‘Love Boat’. Awesome. Going into PP… July 29th

投錨する = letting go the anchor.
I get what you are saying but it is a manly job, and it is nothing wrong with wanting to do masculine work. women like feminine work usually. Gender roles are not bad. Nature.
Joe sent me! This is my first video I am watching on your channel.
Why did you stop making videos is everything ok?
just letting you know i started watching you towards the end of 2022. Currently about to finish 4th phase of the program. Thanks for all the info you shared man. Life changing 👍
Sure miss your posts man.
Depending on your Hall, your Port Agent will guide you through the process. After I sent in my app, I got an email from the local Agent here, had me come in for an interview and the tests, then I got the email from the School with all the info they needed. I paid the medical fee to the Hall and the Agent set me up to schedule my medical.
I am at phase 2 now, got my TWIC, passport, and did my physical exam. I have an appt on the 8th of May to get a supplemental doc filled out, then I can get the MMC
Do you need high school diploma or ged to get in the apprenticeship
Really helpfull, cheers!
IM TRYING TO GET IN GOT TO ASK DOES A WIPER WORK 12 HOURS A DAY WITH STANDING ALL THE TIME AND DOES IT DIFFER BY SHIP
you are not sure of what are you talking about,.
what about going to the port side? is it the same calculation?
So you pack your work clothes for phase 2 before heading to Piney Point for phase 1?
