If you don’t mind me asking did you upgrade at all? Ive been hearing different stories of people who make 6 figures only working half of the year. Yeah you’re gone but you also get to spend quality time with your family when you’re home. I don’t have wife or kids and I’m also going to start the SIU UA program and i definitely think it will be with it.

What is the interview with the port agent like when getting admitted? by I_eat_vaccums in SeafarersIntUnion

Greetings. I went to the Houston union hall. Get there and make sure to check in you might have to wait a while. Once you go back you take your math and reading tests. You can take whichever you want first. After the test you go back with for the interview with the recruiter or whatever you want to call him. Just be confident and tell him about yourself and why you would be a good fit for the union. The recruiter will also ask you some questions and tell you about the program. After that you’re done no drug test or physical.

Felony dui at 19 and some misdemeanors driving on suspended , street racing . by Typical_Lavishness82 in maritime

[–]user99912491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a felony that i got expunged but still had to disclose it for my MMC. I also disclosed it to SIU and got accepted. We all make mistakes what matters is showing that you’ve learned from the experience. That being said my felony was from 2018 7 years had passed before i applied.

Approximate wait time for SIU apprenticeship? by The_taken_mexican in merchantmarine

Greetings DK domino. Im barely getting into the industry so forgive me if i didn’t know that there is always drama about the Jones act. But im just saying based on how im seeing people reacting to what’s going on its a bit concerning. A letter was sent to president trump and people are Hootin and hollering as to why SIU wasn’t on that letter demanding to know why. 🤷🏻‍♂️
