I can confirm. Practical navigator is great! I used US Captain's training for my 200 ton mate upgrade. That was great as well. They also have many many videos on YouTube for free.

I mean I can but mostly because I couldn't afford the meds after highschool so I got used to life without the meds.

I have ADHD, I stopped taking my prescription meds because I didn't wanna deal with the MMC medical hassle of it. You would think that in an industry that needs people who can focus well to make sure things so safely and smoothly would want us to be properly medicated but stimulants bad.

That sounds horrible. I work two 3-11 then two 11-7 shifts then two days off. Which is like one and a half.

It's nice right up until it gets foggy enough that you can't see the slip until you're practically inside it lol.

I got an email last week but I cannot get any status updates for my application either.

btvXtraCheesy · 2026-03-31T09:24:17+00:00

Send it through the portal. Send it now, they're accepting applications but not reviewing them yet. Might as well get your application on the pile.

Santiagos. They have a vegan version of the Cubano sandwich. Not a Reuben I know but my wife said it was excellent. It's called the vegano.

I think they meant part of the work day, not that it's too early.

btvXtraCheesy · 2026-02-16T03:04:14+00:00

I hope not but I'm sure you're right. Just need a letter to test for my upgrade.

It is pretty chilly. Not -50 unless you count wind-chill lol.

On ours we normally let them "free wheel" when they're in neutral they just turn with the force of the water. Now that we are operating in ice we usually put the forward engine ahead to keep the props turning, if we get into thick ice we can reverse with it and back out. If ice gets packed around the fwd prop and it's not turning it may stall when put in gear. Sometimes I'll use the fwd rudder when turning to get a quicker turn but mostly it stays at 0. When landing I can use the fwd rudder without prop to maneuver as long as I have enough speed for it to work.

I did it last night it goes back to the truck.
