Do u have what it takes to be a real mariner?
I was talking to a guy about 58 years old who was an AB on a Chevron
tanker. We were talking about boat jobs and he described a great program the Sefarers International Union (SIU) had for new mariners. If you think you want to be a real sailor and not some fat **** sailboat guy ****ing about willburs grammer get a life and check out SIU UnLicensed Apprentance program. http://www.seafarers.org/jobs/uafaq.xml Basically after $1500 tuition and a seven month school at Pinney Point, MD you walk out a union AB with a "B" seniority book. WIth A-B- C-D books, D Book the least seniority, that means youre next to the top in seniority and get to sail when ever ya want. Its really an unbelivable opportunity. Oh, now I can hear all the "ya butters." "I would but.... or I could but....." The guy I was talking to said he new of a guy SEVENTY years old who just completed the 7 month program and was sailing (that means working on unlimited ships as an AB, not typing about sailboats here) So quit your whinning and give up your looser RBC life and get a real job on a real boat with real mariners. If a 70 year old guy can do it at least a few of you recreational yacher types can do it. Besides I hear at least a few of you white, fat, 60 yo geezers have the back of a 30 year old........... If not please pass this information to anyone who wants to better their life and career. Bob |
