    I worked with Joey Gallo in the early 90's, either on the USNS Silas Bent, Wilkes or Wyman all USNS vessels. I was purser and he was chief cook, I believe! Nice to see you Joey Gallo!

    This started off like one of those movies that starts in the present but 5 mins in, goes back in time into the main characters life and times. Wish this was longer...

    I'm going to join with the SIU program this year. At least I officially made up my mind to get ready to apply. I'm going to apply in 2 to 3 months. I gotta to get some things personal affairs in order first. Then I'm going to apply.
    I either want to start school by the end of the year or the next year. I think it's doable in that timeframe. I got to get all my shit in order. There's a new peaceful life to be had . . .

    When I was a kid. Me and my brother had 2 plastic toy boats. We went down to the park in California and would float them down the water at the park. I have this memory stuck in my head. Ive read Lord Jim countless times. I want to do this

      @Let’s be Frank Booth I like the co ol thing about be ing seaman, is the Merchant Seaman pay is protected by the jones act, federal/merchant seaman pay can't be taken from bank to pay Creditor. I really like how they set that up, not sure if there is a limit to how much a seaman can have or not though

      @Let’s be Frank Booth I think working 6-7 months at sea and long vacation lol will get sanity b ack up

      @Let’s be Frank Booth I read that creditors do freeze but they do not take out the funds until they verify what it is. I heard that we have to hire a lawyer to let the creditors know that seaman wages are protected by Federal, I was reading about the Jones act . I was very surprised that Merchant Seaman wages are protected from Wage garnishment and funds in the bank, thats amazing.
