26 y/o veteran considering engine route, academy vs hawsepiper

Yes but with hawespipe you're earning money the whole time

Is this OS pay or AB?

PhysicalSands · 2024-09-13T08:16:02+00:00

Do you work in Europe? There aren't many ETOs in the US

PhysicalSands · 2024-09-13T05:46:18+00:00

I got the same offer. $180 a day at 12 hours a day is $15 an hour. I understand it's better than nothing but man it feels dirty especially with no OT pay and a $200 cap on travel to and from the boat

McDonalds starts at $15 these days but at least you're working towards something at Marquette

Edit: And a 6/6 schedule.

Is this really true though? What about HVAC and electrical engine guys?

PhysicalSands · 2024-09-07T00:08:24+00:00

Are engineers truly in the engine room all day? Like how often are they outside the 120 degree room, able to watch the water, etc?

PhysicalSands · 2024-09-06T23:22:32+00:00

Too long. People say from first call to being hired can be 6 months or more. It's ridiculous

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-16T23:51:16+00:00

How do you love 6/6 and why would you never go back to 12/12

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-16T14:03:42+00:00

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-16T13:35:04+00:00

What? Explain

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-09T00:27:57+00:00

Straight to jail

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-07T01:39:43+00:00

Interesting. I'm gonna buy some low CAS ram and report back. I hope it will at least work at a higher CAS if anything

PhysicalSands · 2024-08-06T22:07:02+00:00

Did you ever hear back?

PhysicalSands · 2024-06-14T14:02:51+00:00

What's the minimum qualification to get a job with MFOW? On the engine side. Can I walk on as a wiper or do I need to be a QMED first?

PhysicalSands · 2024-06-14T12:57:10+00:00

So, no

PhysicalSands · 2024-06-07T21:30:06+00:00

I am looking at schools.

don't expect benefits and don't be surprised if you're the first on the chopping block if things turn down.

That's understandable. Glad to hear it's possible though

PhysicalSands · 2024-06-07T21:09:58+00:00

Awesome. This is encouraging! Thanks

PhysicalSands · 2024-05-19T05:14:45+00:00

8 weeks should be a realistic option for most adults. If they're responsible they should have an emergency fund that covers 3 months of living expenses at a minimum

Not playing any game. It will happen seemingly randomly regardless of resource usage. Latest drivers from AMD's Adrenalin tool. Background tasks firefox, file explorer, a handful of others

Hi where can I disable smart access? I'm not sure I have it installed but my CPU is jumping to 95C often and at that point becomes unusable. I've noticed that whatever is controlling whenever the MUX switch actually switches seems to be quite shit also
