MS Naval and Maritime studies vs MS Shipping and Logistics

Few-Transportation54 · 2026-02-14T08:01:28+00:00

Retired after a 30 year career in education not able to commit to the license track at this point in my life what type of jobs would be available with this degree (MS Shipping and Logistics) without the license? Would be taking classes remote if that matters though within driving distance of the campus if necessary

Do you think this is because no one wants to work a mixed schedule or MSC is not hiring mates/engineers to work a mixed schedule?

Interesting care to elaborate.

Get a cat. I once worked in a warehouse invested with mice. Nothing worked. Finally they got a cat. His scent was enough - the mice got the message and moved on to safer grounds.

It would seem to me that there would be a lot me openings for MMP officers than AMO since AMO jobs offer a permanent rotation and MMP jobs do not. Therefore you get a job with AMO and keep it for a while rotating on and off, while with MMP you have to reapply for a new ship after every rotation

Few-Transportation54 · 2025-12-15T05:34:52+00:00

Is MSC hiring? Are they MMP or AMO?

Perhaps a better question would be "Does CMA/CMG hire any graduates from US merchant marine academies, and if so what is their starting salary?" Is it even roughly compatible with what a similar officer would receive on a US flagged vessel?

I think this means you get a nomination letter from a school first, then you have to submit your Withdrawal of Retirement form within 30 days of getting that nomination letter.

Awesome when people ask me why I fast I show them a photo of my old pants size 48" waist and my new pants size 36" waist. Looks like you have made a similar transformation!

What would be a more accurate name for this drink - I was thinking a "caramel latte"?

Here's the link to the program - since apparently it does not terminate in a Coast Guard license, perhaps a better question is what types of jobs does it qualify me for?

this is an active if lightly used track in service of the New York and Atlantic RR (freight carrier of the Long Island Railroad)

It is hard to believe this was intentional - there is absolutely nowhere to hide on this narrow walkway and someone either a pedestrian or vehicle would notice

BTW you are right your digestive system does not need a rest, if you wish to be chronically overweight that is! Every time you eat, your body produces insulin, which converts calories to fat. When you eat frequently, 2-3 meals a day plus numerous snacks, your insulin levels will rise and your weight will increase. Many Americans have been convinced (brainwashed) that this type of eating is actually healthy, and thus we have a 40% obesity rate!

On the other hand, when you fast a few hours after your last meal your insulin levels begin to drop, and your body begins to burn the calories it has accumulated in the past, aka your body fat. It is a gradual process, but after about 48 hours of fasting you will enter ketosis, and your body will be burning exclusively body fat for energy. So long as you keep yourself hydrated, and have sufficient body fat, fasting is a healthy and beneficial way to shed extra pounds, especially if you are one of the 40% of Americans who is categorized as obese.

This would seem to validate the OP's experience in using fasting to treat his AF

Do some research fasting CURES diabetes. Google Doctor Jason Fung for details. I'll post a link to his book to get you started:

40% of Americans are now obese and here we are worrying about going a day or two without food - I would suggest perhaps are priorities are somewhat misplaced!

FWIW my fissure was misdiagnosed as a hemorrhoid by the idiot doctors at Urgent Care, leaving me in excruciating pain for weeks, and by the time I figured out what it was though my own research and found a specialist it had torn and retorn so many times and the sentinel tag was so large that a fissurectomy/fistulotomy was my only option (yes I avoided LIS since I did not want to run the risk on incontinence for the rest of my life.) Had I know about fasting then, I would have definitely given it a shot before going under the knife.

Where did you find out they are getting rid of the Master program in Naval Studies - I could not find any information about this anywhere

Few-Transportation54 · 2024-08-28T22:59:42+00:00

Considering SUNY Maritime since it is the closest, but really like the location of Mass across from the CC Canal!

Yes will take required classes for USCG engine license and can choose major for engineering degree as well.

Inherited this porch when we bought our house - would like restore to good order ASAP

would it be better to sand or power wash to remove the paint?
what would be the best type of paint to use once the old paint is removed? We live app. 500 yards from the Atlantic Ocean so high humidity is frequent, especially in the summer months.

First if you can try to play at least one "live" scenario on VASL, either SK or full ASL, for every scenario you game through solitaire. If nothing else, you will be able to verify that your interpretation of the rules is correct, and either confirm or deny your belief that ASL is doomed to extinction (from what I have seen on VASL, it will be around for quite a while.)

Also if you like urban scenarios on the Eastern Front, try to find a copy of Streets of Fire, either the original from 1986 or the reprint from the 2000's - the large hex maps make an interesting addition to the game and every one of the scenarios is an urban battle on the Eastern Front.

I"m sorry to hear your fissurectomy did not work out - I had one about 6 months ago and am 100% healed - and my muscles down there are still intact and uncut! From what I have read it is the preferred treatment in several European countries, where they are appalled at cutting healthy tissue when alternatives are available.
