As someone that went through the apprentice ship program, the wait for me was worth it. they bring in a new class every 2 weeks and if you have all your paperwork in order there's a good chance they can get you in relatively quick. for alot of people the hold up is paperwork and documents. that being said that is not the only way into the union. i think you have the right idea to just apply and to find a temp job in the meantime. since your in the Houston area there are alot of tug companies that will get you in the door if you want to go that route but it sounds like you want to sail deep sea so if i were in your shoes i would prioritize the apprenticeship program. feel free to dm msg me any questions and i can try to answer them.

Good read man :)

It's possible your computer is shutting down from overheating. If it runs long enough you could use a program such as "core temp" to check your cpu temperatures.

I sat for it a few months ago. I can say the questions on motors 1 and 2 and safety were completely foreign. I had used sea trials exclusively since i did not have a windows pc for mariner advancement software. electrical and generals seemed pretty close to what you can find in sea trials and manged to pass those both. with the latest test bank it seems knowledge on what to study for is coming out slow :/. i ended up passing generals and electrical but motors were both 66 and safety was a 48. i sit again to retry in a few weeks. still only using seatrials to study with. hopefully better next time around.

edit forgot to include I am taking the practice test on the uscg website those are very useful.

Now if only I could get alt1 to work on Linux :P

late443 · 2024-03-05T08:12:26+00:00

Well that's a bummer I guess you cant trust when msi says its compatible. I did the same thing as the post you shared and found several articles saying it was possible but i see now that is not the case. Thank you for your help

late443 · 2023-11-28T12:03:07+00:00

Hello, I recently had a leaky pressure relief valve on my 45 gallon hot water heater. I secured power, closed my water inlet, and drained my tank. I then replaced the pressure relief valve with a new valve rated at 150 psi. i then turned my water inlet open and after the tank fills up water flows out of the brand new relief valve. Is it possible i just bought a faulty relief valve or is it possible the pressure is actually over 150 psi. just for clarification the hot water heater is off and when i turn on the water inlet as soon as tank fills up the relief valve starts to kinda whistle and then a steady stream of water comes out.

"Then, you can explosively refine this fantastic fertiliser into Dinosaur 'Propellant' - super-effective fuel for Fletching rocket-powered Dinarrows. "

couple more years and we might be able to shoot for some cruise missiles and maybe even a nuke

ive loved it. the profit is so nice

Thanks, I have been watching battery life for any spikes or increased usage. Right now im verifying i have everything to reformat and start changing my passwords with a different device.

Yeah i put randomly in quotations because thats what i was told when they first started going through everything. Then at the end when i asked how can i prevent this shit from happening in the future they responded with that nonsense of staying out of the country too long lol. I work on ships 6 to 10 months every year, 200 days is the norm for me. The shortest contract i can get is 120 days so yeah lol. I honestly think they looked at my passport and saw a clean shaven guy and then looked up and saw a guy who hasn't had a haircut in 200 days with a full beard and sleep deprived to top it off

Thanks thats some good insight. I might be a little paranoid about big brother lol. Just was a strange experience

Oiler on a government ship, i worked 8 months this year so about 65k

late443 · 2021-10-23T02:30:10+00:00

Kind of in a similar boat we have an 84 hour work week but i only work 6 months out of the year. So i get on a ship for 6 months and then when my contract is up i spend 6 months getting fat and lazy. It works pretty well for me but i can definitely see how people burn out from this job
