Civilian Mariner Jobs - Military Sealift Command

[antman757]

what if you have no sea experience????? is it hard to get into?

[sealiftcommand]

Great question, melborn1528

Many of the requirements are position specific; however there are three universal requirements you should know about:

1) a US Passport

2) a MMD (Merchant Mariners Document)

3) a TWIC card (TWIC means Transportation Workers Identification Credential).

The endorsement on the back of your MMD has a lot to say about the type of position youll qualify for with MSC check the Now Hiring page on to find the official Maritime Job Opportunity Announcement youll need.
