Lol I’m really a goofy person in real life but that’s really a serious topic like I didn’t realize it until I was half way done with phase 2 a guy on my ship was like “yeah this really a dangerous job we in the middle of the water and we all we got no 911 no nothing” that really opened my eyes fr
Bubbles!!!! I’m class 895 you was a few classes ahead of me. You and Unique were always hella nice to me 💯💯 I’m finna get back to phase 3 soon, I hope you been good 🙏🏾
Me personally imma say yes every time just cause I’m fresh out of high school with little to no cash I’d say yes it’s a great opportunity but if you got mad bills to pay kids etc then your best bet is to just get your credentials from a place like blue water and go in as a c class entry level
I believe it’s possible when your filling out the mmc application there’s a form that ask about like any kinda charge you have on your record write it down and be very specific because they check
Do you recieve a license after apprenticing? Or is just a training? I want to start as an able body seaman 20f but if I can start out at a higher rank that would be great.
Thanks I really appreciate you guys and it really just depends on the ship like me and the girl I went with could have shared a room because our rooms had bunk beds in it but the 2nd mate just let us choose which room we wanted
@lowlifesailor9042 that's cool.. I'm really trying to get myself healed up from these surgeries and I'll be coming in hopefully this winter or next spring.. 🙏 🤞 I'm really eager to get this started haha.. and I appreciate it that you're fairly new into SIU so I can truly follow your stories and get a heads up on what to expect haha.. hey I'm curious.. what do you remember if anything about the UA tests for the Coast Gaurd..? What all do I need to know for the math and reading stuff.. I can't find anything on UA-cam haha I'm totally gonna do some videos about that stuff.
@@Bcarlin2023 well for the table test you take it twice once at the union hall and then again at the school the math test at the union hall had like fractions,decimals and multiplication also a little bit of division and the reading test was like a 7-8th grade level at the school they don’t care about the math tabe test as long as you score a 80% or higher on the reading test you should be fine
@@Bcarlin2023 also with the ua test the 2 hardest test are water survival and vessel ops a lot of ppl gonna say vessel fam was hard but it really wasn’t it’s just because it’s your first test but as long as you study you should be good
@lowlifesailor9042 that's awesome.. thank you... even being 41 yrs old I tend to scare myself on tests 😄 but, you should do a video on that part of the entry part .. be curious to know all that .. like I said I plan on doing some to help others like me...I look forward to seeing you out there someday
You got this let me know if you have any questions or concerns I’m here to help y’all mainly because I use to be just like y’all I didn’t know where to start
I got all my stuff🎉I wanna start the applying for the program but I wanna stay for a few months so I can have so extra money while i’m gone. How fast do you think they’ll assign me to a class?
Well according to the school they said they booked all the way until march for 1st phase classes idk if that’s still the same but while I was there that’s what they where saying
Yes I went through the program and also yes I did meet ppl who didn’t already have there mmc about 1/3rd of my class didn’t have a mmc in hand some filled out the paperwork at the school and some where just waiting for it to be delivered
@@calhouncarlos903 siu (seafers international union )the full 5 phase program they get you prepared for everything your going to need to sail on a vessel
@@noelevryd nah they changed it so basically Phase 1 is still 4months once you finish the 4 months you basically in the union by then you just gotta do two trips as a entry level 1st trip is 60 day’s second trip is 120 then you can upgrade to the next rating and officially join the siu as a b book
Lol my ship mates kept clowning me about that I ate everything I’m not even finna hold you it was fun tho also their McDonald’s is wayyyy different from the u.s😭😭😭
Not really the ship but the water was something else like it’s like something straight out of a movie that can be good and bad sometimes like some days the water looks beautiful other days I feel like I’m starring in the titanic lol I’m being dramatic but no it’s not really that intimidating you just stay calm and remember why your there
@lowlifesailor9042 it take two months for my mmc and i would like be in engine department and really want to go to the siu program but one stopping me is my bills if i really start lol
I got my twic card today bout start my mmc process now do i afto take STCW training course or nah because i don't want to waste money if afto do it over again when i get hired
If your going the siu route through the program don’t waste your money on that because they do it for free at the school but if not and your just trying to start sailing as a entry level then you should go ahead and take the classes
Do u have to know how to swim because I'm definitely am going to have to learn how to swim just incase someone wants to be funny and man over board me 😮😮😮

Do you recommend the apprentice program?

Was wondering if I can still get an MMC Card with misdemeanors on my record?

Do you recieve a license after apprenticing? Or is just a training? I want to start as an able body seaman 20f but if I can start out at a higher rank that would be great.
Honestly if your going through the program your most likely and entry level in every apartment until you finish phase 4
Watching your video now homie... I'm curious.. in phase 2 did you get your own room on the ship? Or does it depend on the ships?
Thanks I really appreciate you guys and it really just depends on the ship like me and the girl I went with could have shared a room because our rooms had bunk beds in it but the 2nd mate just let us choose which room we wanted

When you start 4th phase
I actually gotta take a drug test before I can get on my phase 4 ship but hopefully sometime this month I can be on a ship
💪🔥
so if you don't know how to swim when you take the water survival test what will the instructors do?
Well technically you fail but if you have a good instructor they might give a little time in the end to try and swim/float
@@lowlifesailor9042are there any office jobs in maritime

No but if you have a good teacher they may give you a mini lesson on how to swim at the end of class
Do think siu would accept me with braces?
Yes but you have to have the proper paper work for it so make sure you get the ok from your dentist
I got my twic card today bout start my mmc process now do i afto take STCW training course or nah because i don't want to waste money if afto do it over again when i get hired
