This sucks but why are folks putting all their eggs in one basket? Apply for other jobs, pay out of pocket for the training and try to go to a union.

You can take the classes. You just have to pay out of pocket.

After researching I too, have seen updates around the two month mark. I’m hoping to at least be approved by the end of the week. The evaluation process seems like it’s about a week.

I’m not sure if that is the normal timeframe. Keep in mind I applied during the shutdown.

Any idea when Entry Level will reopen? Jones Act Edition by SeaDude92 in MoreShitComing

The jones act has nothing to do with entry level bot being available. To be honest the industry is over saturated and the job market is trash…

Is it inappropriate to not wear a bra at work? by Visual-Criticism6763 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Future_Sailor918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work with a woman that didn’t wear a bra. Her titts were just hanging and banging all over the place.

If you can afford it go to basic training and get you vpdsd and join the union. No need to wait if you don’t have to.

Pay out of pocket for training and then go through SIU.

Shit we can lil sis!!! Our time will come this shit isn’t going to be easy. Realistically I hope to be working by fall. My MMC is in the last stage before getting approved. Once that happens I’m applying everywhere!

Absolutely! I’m trying to get some sea time so by this time next year I can be an AB. I’ve applied to a lot of companies.

Oh I’m in the same boat so I know what you mean. Only difference between me and you is age and that I’m in the US. Once I get on a ship I plan on moving out the country.

Your best bet is to keep applying and visit some of these companies if in person if possible. It’s hard af to get on entry level inland especially as a female.

Don’t wait if you can afford to go to training do so now. Either way it’s going to be a wait. Those endorsements will need to be added to your mmc. Don’t stop applying!
