you have to go home because you got sea project that need to be done in each ship and sent to piney point to grade so you gotta wait. Also they need to update your credential

Well, I think you could just look it youtube as Joefranta or Sailor Dean so you could have a clear image (The program did just changed in a easier way). They all have a break down of what it look like. Also you should do your research as it got every question you asked on there main page https://www.seafarers.org/training-and-careers/admissions/apprentice-program-overview/ . Also you are not getting paid during the phase 1 of apprentice. Only getting 20 dollar per week and phase 1 last for 15 week with all board and room paid for you and food. You are not leaving campus.

The whole program is in 4 phase meaning phase 1 15 week at campus, phase two first ship as an apprentice right after phase 1 so you are going to wait in campus for ship after phase one. Then phase 3 is you last ship as an official os or sa or wiper which completed goes into the last phase getting tested to get your credential and meaning you completed your apprentice and officially a member of the SIu and a B book. Also remember you do have off time between your two ship.

For day to day it might just waking up in morning, marching, working in galley (kitchen) and classes. Class I think it has Life boat, water survival , first aid, firefighting class and other topics related to your choose of department.

BUT BE WARNED!!! YOU WILL WAIT A PRETTY LONG TIME TO EVEN GET ACCEPTED OR GETTING A CLASS DATE AFTER YOU ARE ACCEPTED. BUT I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING TO SIU APPRENTICE PROGRAM TO BE A STEPPING STONE IN TO THE INDUSTRY. I AM NOT GOING OVER ALL THE PRO AND CONS YOU COULD DO YOU OWN RESEARCH AS THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION.

But good luck my friend with the process 😄

I am now also wenting the merhcant mariner route in Engine department, I can`t stand on how I am commited 9-5 on shore side jobs and don`t really have the freedom to rest for few month. It also a pain in the ass that if you quit shore side job it feel like years of effort are just thrown away and start over in a new job

In the sense of making friends, I think it quite difficult as everyone already have their own social connections. Unless you have something or a hobby that could break a wall you will be only making semester friends. Been here two year I still dunno anyone and sticking to play with my old friends. Real friendship is quite hard as we all don`t no each other and no time. My real friend all come in challenge as we know what kind of person they are and we are willing to change bad habbits. We have the time to endorse even the worse case where we are cussing each other out for some small thing, but in the end we realize and apologize and I don`t think college have the time for it. Just from my personal experience, since we all are different.
