I’m going out for 4 months with Military Sealift Command, but I’m not sure where yet. I figure I should bring some clothes, toothbrush, etc. But what about foul weather gear, a warm coat, work boots, work vest, things like that? Are they gonna supply them to me, and will they be any good? Or should I just buy my own?
I’m really considering going to the US Merchant Marine Academy for college. The thing is, I’m not sure if I want to make sailing my life style. Before considering MMA I was thinking about getting a Business Administration degree at a normal college, but the closest thing to a Business Administration degree offered at MMA would be a major in Marine Transportation. Can I get a business oriented job with that degree? I’m assuming I’d need to go to masters school and get a MBA.
there are many types of jobs I can get into. Able Bodied Seaman
Ordinary Seaman, Utilityman (Food Handler)
, Engine Utilityman
, Deck Engineer Machinist, Unlicensed Junior Engineer, Refrigeration Engineer
, Electronics Technician
, Wiper.

If you are going to work on a passenger ship or a passenger ship in a position where your duties are related to the safety of passengers, then you must obtain training to meet Reg. A-V/2 or A-V/3 of the STCW Code. STCW is the acronym for the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers. The training covers assisting passengers, crowd control, passenger safety, and other training directed towards the safety of the passengers and the vessel. This training is not required to obtain the STCW form, but is a requirement of employment and proof of completion must be provided to your employer. Currently, there are no “relaxed assessments” and proof consists of a course completion certificate from a Coast Guard approved or accepted course or under certain circumstances certification from a designated examiner attesting to your proficiency.

Please be ready to submit documentation of any offenses in the form of court records, copies of legal proceedings, or evidence of rehabilitation upon request. You must put them on a separate piece of paper, for example: “I was charged with disorderly conduct approximately 1984 in Colorado”, “I was charged with DUI in 1991 in Michigan” then sign it and date it. Be sure to list everything, no matter how old!
What is required for the National Driver Registry (NDR) check?
