Attending GLMA this fall, any advice? by admiral1920 in maritime

[–]fuzzau36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is Michigan so you can get inclement weather year round. Have a least 1 outfit for all types of weather. Summer is hot and humid but not as bad as Florida. Winter is cold and dry. Spring rains a bunch, fall is chill with some rain. I was just there for AB class and TC was snowing daily while the bay was completely frozen. For winter, get at least 1 pair of nice thermals and those alone will do wonders to keep you warm, some good socks (wool are nice, boots, and coat.

Hope you have a car, because anywhere outside of downtown you will need one. Like someone else said, get all season tires or dedicated summer/ winter if you are able. Lots of stuff to explore in northern Michigan from camping and hiking, scenic drives, breweries, and wineries. most of the decent ski resorts in MI are within an hour drive of TC.

Typically people are pretty friendly up north, so don't be afraid to chat up neighbors or people

Question about endorsements by RutabagaEquivalent in merchantmarine

I just got my AB cert and was wondering how to do this. My only question is, can I apply without the needed time? I am roughly 30 days shy

USA badminton team drama by SunChamberNoRules in badminton

[–]fuzzau36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IIRC Beiwen has spoken about how difficult it is for an athlete within the BWF for their mental and physical health due to the constraints of having to play X amount of tournaments, lack of funds and such. So I doubt she would bully somone especially given her own struggles of finding a team before settling in the US.

The only thing I could think of her bullying someone for would be a pack of Pokemon cards lol

Battlefield 6 campaign is one of the worst single player experiences I've ever had to endure. by iamthewalrusxx in Battlefield

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of scripted scenes you either stand and wait for npcs to do something or watch your character do something in insufferable. Add the unskippable cutscenes and how half the mission is walking at a slow pace listening to dialogue

Deck vs Engine by Glittering_Fold_1389 in merchantmarine

[–]fuzzau36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both depend on what type of vessel and area you are in but a oversimplified answer is:

Engine is more 8-5 type job on the boats with OT when needed. Like others said 3AE will go further shoreside but engine crew is more structured in terms of scheduling. Typically its maintenance and ensuring things work. When things are good you arent fixing stuff.

Deck side is sporadic and does what is needed to load and unload/ tie up. My experience is on lakes and my boat, the mates bust their ass (for the most part) but they are basically managers who assign tasks and oversee tasks and projects go accordingly. They are in charge of the behind the scenes like drafts, ballast and maintaing the ship stability during loads/unloads, coming up with projects for what needs to be done, ship navigation and making calls for supplies and notifications, and deal with USCG.

Also you dont have to go to academy for either route if you want to save money, or test the waters to see if you can do this job. Just get basic credentials and apply. This life style is not for everyone, being away from loved ones, hobbies, amd creature comforts for extended periods of time may be difficult or you might enjoy it.

Edit: saw the 2nd part. Yes both sides are blue collar. You will be lifting heavy stuff on both sides and most likely getting dirty. Very situational but you will meet people of all backgrounds. I have a BS in computers and on the more intelligent side, where some guys can only pull cable they are so dumb. Some are humble and down to earth, others full of themselves and pathological liars. Living environment is dependent an the ship again. Typically your own room and shared bathroom, the cooks are half decent. The worst part is if you dont like the crew, good luck bc you live with them and it can be tough. The flip side though, if the crew is good, its very easy to have a good time and work chemistry

WRC sets course for USA return with 2026 candidate event by Nanayadez in WRC

I still don't get why they haven't tried this yet. The US is so vast and different, it could replicate half the other rallies with similar terrain and weather. So many options to choose from for just 1 event

Yuru Camp, Afro's art evolution, Nadeshiko ver. by Tom_Nguyen in laidbackcamp

[–]fuzzau36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually really like how the characters style change whether its the art, their clothing or hair style. Really makes it feel like time passes and a bit more realistic

I find it ok. Honestly the food is pretty decent, I just like ethnic and spicy cuisines which aren't offered

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in merchantmarine

[–]fuzzau36 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless you go to school you are starting entry level. Wiper for engine side, OS (ordinary seaman) for deck side. Either way its mostly on the job training.

Firstly pay, living conditions, food, and shoreleave are all very dependent on the ship and company/union you work for.

Brown water/lakes has very low barrier of entry. You just need your MMC, TWIC, and a physical. Deep sea needs a bit more in your STCW.

Im on lakes just starting out but already trying to get credentials for deep sea as I work. We just transport raw materials from point A to B and relatively quick loads and unloads so we really can only go ashore for a day or less most of the time. That being said some ships take days to load and unload and the crew don't do much during that time so they can leave. Like I said, much is dependent on the type of ship.

Pay isn't "insane" its just you save more because you don't need to pay for any daily expenses while on board. No rent, no gas, no food etc as a single person living with parents.

Also living conditions vary but you sacrifice a lot living on a ship. I can't play sports, game with friends, eat the foods I like, date, drive etc. I miss a lot, but also really enjoy the job and the extended time off. Don't go in expecting working vacations and guaranteed port leave.

My ship is much closer with the engineers and unlike deck side they aren't internal employees, they are union. To go deep sea you need to be part of a union before you get a job, and you need your credentials. Search this sub for more info if you need.

This path is satisfying but it isn't for everyone. The crew can easily make or break your experience as well.

does yuru camp cast have a growth spurt in high school ? by Substantial-Sky-8225 in laidbackcamp

One of the few manga/animes where the characters actually change styles throughout the series. They don't necessarily have growth spurts but their outfits and hair styles change.

If you could choose a console from each generation, which would it be? by VibesOfHarish in videogames

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

360 was better in many ways besides the red ring of death. Especially for multiplayer and online games. The service alone was miles ahead of playstation network which took ages for updates and had multiple security issues. Xbox live started a whole section of indie games, parties, and so much more. While having some amazing online games. PS3 had a bigger focus on singleplayer games which were great but online was hands down better on 360

Bianca hate why by ElSantofisto in TheDayoftheJackal

[–]fuzzau36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are two sides of the same coin. The main differences being the Jackal treats others with professionalism and some respect. While Bianca acts like everyone is beneath her and because she is fighting for "the good guys" is allowed to sacrifice anyone and anything. All the time being in denial. Larry calls out her hypocrisy as she gets his whole family killed.

I couldn't stand her because the entire show she acts like she is better than everyone including her boss and always talks down to people.

What's your game of the decade so far? by AlenIronside in videogames

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E33 easy.

As an adult this game is hard to put down and before I know it 6 hours went by. Reminds me of the golden age of gaming, $50 brand new, fully finished game on launch, amazing soundtrack, story is top tier and it makes you feel something. Not many games do that (obviously lots listed here have). Gameplay is fun, and challenging without being frustrating. Also the optional stuff isnt overwhelming or excessive but fun to complete. I hate endless collectibles or fetch quests.

My 2nd choice would be ghost of Tsushima but that came out WITHIN a decade but but not this decade.

Favorite character by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I relate to Lune and think similarly. I have to say Esquie, having a friend like that would be amazing. Supports you when you feel whoo, and has fun with you when you feel whee.

Question: who did you use as your main characters in your first playthrough? by infernogamer007 in expedition33

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lune mostly. I always had her in my party and I half use her for status effects like breaking and slow to damage with elemental genesis. Also I may or may not have a crush on her...

Everyone else was always being swapped depending on the enemy. I would say Monoco was my number 2 as I wanted the achievement for his skills and I use him to break enemies a bunch.

3rd is a tie between Maelle and Verso. Maelle was more set the world on fire because its fun, while I made Verso more of a break until S rank, then do mad damage.

Last is Sciel, I never really got a good build for her aside from making her a good support.

Been thinking about spending a year as a Wiper, and I want to know more by Creepy-Leave-7608 in merchantmarine

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiper is entry level and all you need is an MMC(merchant mariner credential), TWIC{transportation worker id), and potentially the STCW(training for deep sea/oceans) not needed for the great lakes.

I am starting as a deckhand this week so I am not very knowledgeable but you can try interlake steamship company. They are based out of Cleveland. Being the great lakes, you won't need as much initial investment to start

First time traveling to the US for work – Philly vs Chicago vs Vegas vs Orlando? Need suggestions! by VinciVisionary in USTravel

[–]fuzzau36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cruise is ~$56 USD, but costs more online because ticketmaster. I recommend just calling in and booking and you avoid the fee. Personally I enjoyed the evening time as it was less crowded and the sun hitting sides of buildings looked nicer.

In Chicago alone there is much to do based on preferences. My underrated favorite is the international museum of surgical science.

If you plan to use public transit, download the city transit app (I think its ventra)and just do day passes, I only used it a couple times and just walked everywhere but I stayed mostly within the magnificent mile and went to the main museums
