Peace RU-vid family,
Before we even start this.. I just want y’all to know this was a 40 min video at first. Hahahaha we had a good time filming this. I want to send a huge thank you to my boyz for being brave and jumping on with no questions. I truly apologize for jumping in & cutting you guys off when u were speaking. I’ve tried super hard to shorten this video as much as possible. I want my RU-vid videos to get directly to the point to give the people what they want and need to get started. 💰 just a FYi
In this video I chop it up with my shipmates asking them questions on their personal experience getting started as Merchant Seafarers without attending the apprenticeship program. This video is beneficial for a lot of people I come into contact with that’s interested but don’t have the time for the school.
Yes it’s possible!! You might even have to wait longer for a job but it will happen for you. So have patience my friends if you’re 100 percent sure this is the road you want to take.
Me personally I highly recommend the school from my own personal experience of walking into the hall and landing a job much quicker than a sailor coming off the streets (no solid training) . As a SA I landed my second ship as soon as I got into the hall while the next man was waiting 3 months to get the same position. He wasn’t the happiest but this can happen to you at any given time when the next person has seniority over you. The bills are coming in I don’t have time to wait up to 3 months , that won’t fly this way. Sorry bro 😩😂
Comment which route you will be taking and why! I’m very curious

@TheChief10097 2 года назад

I don’t know if anyone will read this - I’m from AZ and a guy at the actual blue water school said to just get my credentials and work entry level on the Great Lakes before I even try to go for basic training. He was real and recommended getting some experience on a ship before investing a bunch of money, I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it. But how would I even convince someone to hire me that’s a few hundred miles away. There’s absolutely no union halls out here in the desert lol.

The school gets funding from grants each person enrolled at the school is more money to keep the training program and the upgrading program running, pays for utilities, pays the maintenance, the teachers, and so on. While it’s not required to do the apprenticeship program but does definitely give you the fast track to getting your B book and then to get your A book.

Is it worth going through the apprenticeship program and how much does it cost? Do you get reimbursed for expenses if you have to travel to the Union Hall trying to get a job? Can you get jobs online instead of going to the Union Hall? Do you have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to sail or go through the apprenticeship program?

@stuthesailor 2 года назад

Going to the school is worth it trust me! You will be paying union dues (Call your union hall to get that information) they do not reimbursed you for your travel to the union hall , but will when going to the school to take any of the classes you will need. Unfortunately as much as I would like to see us landing jobs online you will have to physically go into a union hall and register before getting a vessel.

Loved this video, do you know if I start with a C book if I have 365 days sailing?? Can I skip like phase 1 in the program?

@stuthesailor 2 года назад

Appreciate YA! I’m not to sure about that brother. Please contact your closest union hall..them sea days can be a little tricky.

I’m from Houston. I wish i would have watched this video before i went to the office today. Any good advice on getting a cooking job and would you recommend it on the boat?

@stuthesailor 2 года назад

Absolutely!! So u will be going thro the program ?! If so my only advice would be to put your head down & complete the program..plus do what you need to do to upgrade to CC in order to get a cooking job. No worries the halls are ALWAYS in need of cooks !!! So you will be fine in getting a cook gig.

@@stuthesailor i didn’t fully sign up with the program. Should i back out before it’s too late. I’m 30 and don’t wanna waste no more time. I’d like to get a insight on more knowledge. Ima get all my credentials on my own. But i did wanna join a Union.

allright i took note of the steps to take etc . when u guys say go to the Hall, what does it mean?. City Hall near me?. or is it like a coast guard office or something?. any help?.

@stuthesailor Год назад

The closet Union Hall near you! One in every port city

@stuartcasal5044 2 года назад

thanks for the valuable info quick question when you guys are talking about going to a hall for work does that mean any hall for mariners near where you live or do you have to be part of a union or there union to enter and apply for jobs in halls can you explain thanks much???

@stuthesailor 2 года назад

You are very welcome ! 😊 you are correct, we’re speaking of ANY SIU Union hall that’s close to you or if you wanted to travel to a different one. You will have to register at that hall first in order to get a gig. After you register, that is where you will be able to go in order to ship out on a vessel.

Is the COVID vac required for this job, and how do you go through the union without the apprentice program if you don’t live close to the union hall?

@stuthesailor 2 года назад

Hey Barry, great questions! Unfortunately you do need to have both of your shots in order to attend the program and sail. This video pretty much told you exactly what you need to do if YOU DONT want to attend the school. As far as the union hall situation. You will need to plan ahead and travel to your nearest one dear. It’s a pain but really worth it. It’s many sailors who live out the country or live hours away from a union hall. Don’t let that get in the way for you buddy. A car or plane ride will be needed. Plan accordingly ..esp with your medical and traveling back and forth to a hall.

@derekrohan9619 Год назад

The information you get from this video vs the length of it is way out of proportion. Could have made this video 5min long and gave this information. Wouldn’t it benefit you to join the union? I’m a union ironworker and I can tell you being a member is way better then being non-union. Both financially and work conditions wise. Can you join the union without going through the apprenticeship program if you have the qualifications?
