Wow thats amazing Bob. You posted last feb. that you found a job, and
now you post that you have a year of sea time. But you also said you
work two weeks on and two weeks off....so exactly how did you get 360
days sea time on a vessel?


12 hour days gives 1.5 days
28 on 14 off
I stayed over a couple hitches.
It all works out or I should say I have my Sea Service letter in hand
ready for an upgrade.




The only way the USCG will give you 2 days for one is if you have Navy
or USCG *time underway. That's how I got my 1600 ton at 24 y.o.


THe NMC doe not give 2:1 they alow 1.5 for 12 hour days. But im sure
you knew that because your so smart un all.




Guess your math is as good as your spelling huh?

see above


Well since all you post here is fake, and you post as a puppet, and
could not even answer the simple question about two of the biggest
boats in the port you pretend to work from ......no one should take
anything you say as the truth.

*It's nice that you feel the need to be all I could be 25 years
ago...you make me blush.

Ya I guess Im not the kind of guy to sit on my fat ass and boats about
the good ol days. Id rather just do it.



*Oh and by the way "OSV" is not oil and mineral...if you are going to
lie at least try to get your terms straight..(Offshore Service Vessel)


Dam joe you are struggling for something to criticize. If yu read the
CFRs OSV is a vessel type along with DSV or crewboat or DP etc engaged
in the exploration/extration/transportaion oil and mineral work.

GOod luck joe. Next time I need some good old day stories Il be sure
to ask.............. god luck with your coffee gig

Thanks for the God Luck

Why not go deep sea and sit for a 3rd mates unlimited?
Use that Union you are so proud of to find you a gig.

Also there has to be many Merchant Marine ships sailing out of the
PNW.
I hear they are looking for crew on the RedCloud, she's a sweet, fast
new ship going places like Deigo Garcia and the Persian Gulf.

Sure, everyone should have a little luck now and then.

Yes, I do support unions. I belive they are a vey unfortunate
necessity. As long as there are corporations that treat equipment
better than emplyees we need unions.

Why am I looking at the lowerlevel licenses instead of the unlimmited
tonnage? Personal reasons. I like smaller boats. Ive worked on a bunch
or boats 300'-680' and just dont like it.

Plus its a lot faster for me to go the lower level route.

Also there has to be many Merchant Marine ships sailing out of the
PNW.

Mostly tugs. The deepsea is a SeaTac thing.
But I got to be honest, I think the Cruise West tour boats might be a
hoot. Wages are way low but the views would be super and mmmmm the
cougars on tour and summer job college girls would be fun too.
Life isnt all about the money Joe. Its how you go through life that
counts.

TO tell you the truth I make more money woriiking my second job than I
do as a $250/day AB.

I have no idea what you mean by that comment.

30 civilian mariners run the ship.

A friend saw her in Deigo Garcia, and commented they are looking for
crew.

Blackwater is also putting together some escort vessels off of
Africia, converted work boats. Good money and adventure!
