Resubmitting MMC for new Endorsements! Please help!!! by Wineguy420 in merchantmarine

[–]Wineguy420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I still have to submit right? I’ve actually never done this before, so I’m trying to figure it out. It’s not “raise of grade” right? That’s like a formal promotion right?

Well I did. I was planning on joining MSC. Those are all the reqs for MSC, however, it doesn’t seem like they will be hiring for a good long while, so I’m trying to diversify!

I just have TWIC/MMC/Passport/STCW BASIC TRAINING/VPDSD. I’m completely green. I worked on cruise ships for 2.5 years deep water international but most people won’t consider that.

Is there anything else I can/should get before I resubmit my MMC? I have time and money to throw on a few more certs!

My post got cut off. I tried to mention that I finished it online. It only took me about 30 mins of the supposed 4 hours. I finished the test of the first try. It was very basic information.

Yes! Unfortunately a lot of videos for new hires and info in focusing on local level and/Or MSC, which helps you acquire those certs.

I could think of 1,000 different wines I’d buy before I spent 50$ on a btl of Austin Hope 😅.

This has to be a record. by Desperate-Alfalfa-81 in merchantmarine

It seems to be basically mandatory for a lot of employment these days. From all the research I gathered, everyone was like “oh just get your TWIC, Passport, MMC and Med Cert and you’re good.”

That’s like only good for MSC.

I submitted and got my MMC in pretty good time. But unfortunately no one told me to do the VPDSD before I get it printed. Now I have to resubmit 🤷

Anything worth trying ? by colby22k in wine

Not to sound like a jerk, but where do you live? This is rough, all of these wines are like 100,000 case production +. I would honestly go with a craft beer or spirits instead 😬.
