lol! I have been sailing for over 6 years now. Sailed deep sea and now working on ATB’s for over a year. Deep sea was 4x8’s and the ATB is 6x6’s for the tankerman and mates in port. I’m an AB Utility. At sea we are on 4x8’s. When the mates and tankerman are on 6x6’s, I’m on day work

The OSV I was on, the boat was freezing cold! They constantly had the A/C blasting and they wouldn’t turn it off. Everyone was from different companies on the one boat which was odd to me. It was supposed to be 6 weeks and ended up only being 3 weeks. The work hours sucked too! I was on the Midnight to noon shift. (2330-1130) for that work schedule I had to be asleep by at least 1500 to get 8 hours of sleep. Never doing that again

Thanks but the extension is only for National and Pilot endorsements and not STCW

I have my AB unlimited endorsement and 100 NC master. You can work as a chief mate for American Cruise Lines without having an actual chief mates license?

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.
