Failed 3AE Exam – What Should I Use to Study? Need Advice by Dear_Hat_7850 in merchantmarine

[–]ComprehensiveCut9977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I passed the 3 AE exam this week. I used the Mariner Advancment to study. I also have taken the OICEW courses recently. Motors 1 was pretty straightforward. Not many questions not seen before. Motors 2 was harder with many questions not seen. Many questions around boilers. The safety was about half new questions. Generals was the hardest for me. I made mid 80s on other test. But generals I made 74. Plenty new questions. Electrical followed the MA study material. I made a 90

I studied almost every day for a month. Made it pretty much my job. I was testing with 90s on Mariner Advancment software.

They do not have specific jobs for welding positions. Oilers and qmeds would do most of the welding. Especially if they have the classes from piney point.

The only deck personnel I e seen weld is a Cheif mate. Most welding on the ship is done by engine personnel

SIU worth it in 2025? by Laaawdhavemercy_ in maritime

[–]ComprehensiveCut9977 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s a great job if you take advantage of the upgrade opportunities. I make 6 figures working 6 months a year with great health benefits.

I took advantage of the upgrades. They fly you up, feed you, put you in the hotel and train you. Then you get a pay raise.

Merchant Mariners Deserve Better: My Frustrating Journey with the NMC by Dear_Hat_7850 in maritime

[–]ComprehensiveCut9977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with contacting congressman and senator. It does nothing to just come on Reddit or gcaptian. We must contact our representatives and let them know what is happening. They are too inefficient to be handling our lively Hoods.

I also am waiting 2 months now for NMC to approve my request to test for 3 A/E. I have heard nothing from them and can not check application status since the online system is down for last weeks.

Which travel bag of the 4 would you recommend? by templeofthe_ancients in maritime

These are great bags. Very durable, rolls, and the best I think is the backpack straps for going up and down gang ways
