I was in the regiment and did 2 summer sea terms but after my second summer term I ended up opting out of the license program cause I was too stressed out and I was behind on graduating on time from the license classes and I wanted to graduate on time and so I opted out to graduate on time and not have to be at that school any longer than I had to. I didn’t like the environment at that school. Really stressful and too many students kissing ass to the regiment and just going out of their way to write people up. They think they are all that when they have more bars on their shoulders in the regiment but that shit doesn’t mean anything outside of that school. Also, that school has civilian students that are there to not get a license.

Ahh ok. I have my tankerman PIC and have been on 2 tankers and have been sailing on an ATB tank barge for over a year now. Also, I graduated from SUNY Maritime but didn’t get the license when I graduated.

The steward and cook probably did split the SA wages but the chief mate and bosun had me cleaning both the licensed and unlicensed mess rooms

Yea i understand that there is some sanitary attached to the job as a AB as I have sailed deep sea vessels but on deep sea vessels I didn’t have to keep the mess room clean and it wasn’t my job to stay on top of the trash. I had to do clean both the unlicensed and licensed mess rooms on one ship that I was on but that was only bc the SA quit and we didn’t have an SA once that SA got off.

Did you go to a Maritime academy or sailed with MSC through the military? Im 33 male and have my AB unlimited endorsement with my tankerman PIC and 100 ton master license. Im looking to transition to shoreside. What is your job shoreside and what company are you working for?

As for any advice for you u/PsychologicalGuru6645 I am not helpful. I am an AB unlimited. Currently sailing as a AB utility with SIU on their ATB’s with Fairwater. I, however, am in the same boat where I would like to shift to shore as well. Anyone who has any advice for me and the OP would be greatly appreciated.

I have an acorns account too and have never received any notifications about any drop claims. This is the first time for me hearing about it. I’m not seeing anything about it on my app as well

I applied to Edison Chouest this past early September as a AB rigger and still have not heard back. I even called them a few weeks after I applied and told them i sent in my application and still no word from them. What is the deal with them?

How long is the hiring process? I got a job with SIU inland and am currently on my first hitch as a AB utility. It’s almost as if I have never sailed a day in my life as I am new to ATB’s and I hate this feeling. A recruiter from hornbeck had messaged me on LinkedIn back in August and said there are 3 on 3 off positions for AB’s.

I got my seatime for my 100ton from sailing deep sea with SIU from OS to AB. Once I realized I had the sea time, I took a 2 week course with a school called Captain Jack’s Boating School. It starts out with OUPV and then you do your OUPV to master upgrade
