From one Mariner to another : Far winds and following seas

[RIDETHESUNSHINE]

Thank You for posting your outstanding video. I added it to my Sea Song play list. I never sailed The Great Lakes. However, I will never forget the tales of those that have. Especially, anyone that "Did Time", (Their term repeatedly) at Great Lakes Naval Air! You can pick those guys out. Look for the tattoo; "USN- NEVER AGAIN", LOL! Catchy tune, who does it? Will

Does anyone have any advice for an ET (I have a BS in IT) to find work on a ship to start out their mariner career?

Does anyone have advice for a young ET that is having trouble finding work on a ship?

I laid up the American Republic at Toledo a year ago, and after 22 years said fuck it. But I do miss it.

Sorry man, We saw her on the wall last year... Hearing things are improving for 2010... hope you get back out there if you are still of a mind to do it.

Cheers!

Thanks, but the USCG's medical nonsense isn't making it any easier-eyesight and hearing 'problems'.

Have a safe season-don't birdcage those wenches!

Brian Harvey and Josh Troop still out there?

[3mate1]

Harvey is on the Mckee and Troop works for Clyde.
