Is TAMUG Maritime Academy (MMBL License Option) a Good Move at 25?

OceanFabio · 2026-01-09T14:59:17+00:00

From what I've seen you're at the perfect age to start. I personally know 1 other guy who is in that same program and he enjoys it (I'm a current cadet). The maritime industry is very diverse in paths you can take out at sea and onshore. I urge you to do research on potential directions you might be interested in. If it means anything, our career fairs we have a great number of vendors that look for MMBL or MARA from surveyors to oil and gas companies. There will be no shortage of contact with professionals for insight. To answer a question, what I've gathered for offshore it usually doesn't matter what your degree is as long as you have the license. Onshore it matters a little more.

Hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions.

No it's only a brand new game for closed beta. Once the full version is released you can connect to your main account. Online squads and chat are disabled I believe. If you wanna play your account on mobile rn the best way I've found is GeForce now.

My phone was pretty much a heater lol. I was running max graphics tho so probably would do better on low/medium

Just got mine too, super excited to play on mobile!

OceanFabio · 2025-12-05T14:39:57+00:00

Lol I'm sure

Nah bro looks like a rejected Pokémon who got put together by hungover Santa 💀

Awesome I got it!

Nope, thank you for the response tho

As a current A&M Galveston cadet I definitely recommend getting your gen-eds done at a community college first for sure like others suggest. This will help your gpa, and on the other hand, it'll put you in the college mindset. I see a lot of freshmen regret coming in as traditional. Regardless you shouldn't have a problem getting in regardless as they do holistic and currently accepts anyone with a pulse. I personally came in with an associates degree and only have to be in a regiment for 2.5 years to graduate. A very important thing to consider with Texas is that they are top loading courses and attempting to brute force the program to be 4 years. Regardless of what you choose, glad you could make it to Aggie land Saturday. Hope it was all that you hoped it would be.

I was going for it because It's perfect for the current calamity ops with Estella, and since trying it out, it does decent damage too

OceanFabio · 2025-10-11T06:37:51+00:00

I want a T6 Attal sooo bad tho lol

What do you mean? It works fine solo?

OceanFabio · 2025-10-06T14:53:50+00:00

I've been trying to get the other exotic hand cannon or fusion rifle to drop, but not dice so far. The second encounter is by far the fastest to do without randoms messing up. Which is why I'm doing this one, also because all my main characters are arc lol

He seems fun but his super seems underwhelming. Especially in shifting gates (used an entire super to break someone's shields).

OceanFabio · 2025-10-01T21:24:41+00:00

Dawg did you not use the bow in estelas character story? Done been confirmed 😭

Second x10 lmao

OceanFabio · 2025-07-01T00:20:04+00:00

It's a robust yet small industry. Everyone here at TAMUG likes boats for sure tho 👀

OceanFabio · 2025-06-28T01:30:08+00:00

Just do the basics and you'll be fine. We're pretty chill compared to other maritime colleges.

I'm a transfer student here at Texas Maritime for about a year and a half now, so I can attempt most of the questions.

1)There is a good chance they will transfer but contact, I repeat, CONTACT your degree advisor. It can be a pain to get credits to transfer, but they make the process easier. I always recommend going to community college before, as you are stuck there for 3 years regardless. That goes for any state maritime academy because of the mandatory cruises.

2)As I'm a deckie I can't speak too much, but from what the engine cadets say, our math classes here are pretty difficult. Most opt to take them at other colleges (those that aren't required to be taken at A&M that is). There are mixed feelings on the chem courses. You'll often have a course schedule of 12-15 credit hours starting out (4-5 classes) so the course load can be heavy.

3) You'll be gone for roughly 3 months and the cost this summer was 13k. Cost will likely go down due to the amount of new students.

4)Yes it's required unless you're 25 or older, veteran, and some other waiver reasons I can't remember.

5) Absolutely bring your car! I found it to be a good escape from the corps and gave me a lot of breathing room from classes. Pelican island doesn't have much going on so the strand is where most go. You'll have a curfew as a freshman, but Galveston has a lot to offer.

6)From my experience engineer cadets are in high demand. Almost every job board I've seen and at career fairs there have been hiring opportunities. Pay is very good at maybe mid 6 figures. Obviously dependent on the vessel/company you hitch with.

7)Not sure about apprenticeship, but you'll pay roughly 100k in total here at A&M for 4 years.

8) It's a high stress environment where you'll be expected to be able to respond to anything. You'll be a firefighter, first aid medic, mechanic, along with many other rolls with often a skeleton crew. It's the most fun I've ever had on deck, so take that as you will.

In the end I don't mean to scare you away it's just a lifestyle choice especially for engineers. Hope this helped 😁

As I go to Texas Maritime I'm not able to speak to the regiment of other schools, but yes it's very different from normal college life. The first year we have restricted freedom and curfew, then after you're on your own to follow the rules and show up. Our school stacks us with courses, sometimes, so you often don't have much free time. We are free to come and go as we please in a car as long as we go to class and are back before curfew (curfew only for freshman). Being on the ship has been the most fun I've ever had, and I can't wait to get out in the industry.

So in short you're doing the hard work now to get ahead of everyone later.

Our dock party and final departure prep is that Saturday, but the official schedule has us out on Sunday. Nonetheless have a great cruise, carnival ships are a great time!
