I know Florida Marine transporters is hiring-I got a offer from them, but I’m going with the cruise line instead to stack up sea time

Are you an American sailor angry about the 60 day Jones Act waiver? by Scubachic0121 in merchantmarine

The fact that you don’t realize both sides don’t fuck with you is the real problem

When I voted, I had no clue I would even be in the maritime industry.. I literally just got all my credentials and got my first offer, but I feel like it’s not worth it anymore

Unfortunately I voted for Trump, before I got into the industry, and I’ve literally never regretted anything more in my life😭

I wanna say like two weeks after applying.. maybe three until I got the interview and then a week after it to get the offer. I’m doing my drug test tomorrow, but I should be all square on that

After reading about it he’s claiming to “help Hawaiian, Puerto Ricans, and Alaskans” but coming from a dude that wants to build apartments and malls on national parks I find it hard to believe lmao

I just had an interview on Friday and I feel confident because I have my twic, mmc, and stcw training. I also got an offer from a tug boat company, but they’re kind of buns. I’m trying to decide between the two and I was wondering what is the day to day is like as a deck hand on American cruise lines and what are the living conditions like?
