OUPV (6 Pack) Coast Guard Captain's License Course review through Mariners Learning System. Passed! 

I am at my proctored exams now. I've been hesitant to start them. Thanks for the tips.

Congratulations, Captain it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the ultimate goal. Oh yeah and lil money as well. 😊 Thanks for sharing your journey 👍🏾

Congratulations Bryan! Welcome to the brotherhood! 👍🏻😎

Congratulations, Capt. Brian! Hopefully, you'll be able to use those skills on the lake real soon! Happy Thanksgiving!

Great information. Thank you

Great video on this Brian! I’m 3/4 of the way thru the modules! I’ve been working on and off since the first of August! I like that I can take my time and not rush thru it!

Congrats and welcome to the captains club. I took the same course a few years ago and would recommend it. They really prepare for the exam. Just a note for you, when you send the USCG your docs. do not miss a line or box that should be checked. They will notify you thus causing delays. Again, congrats Captain.

Great job Capt! Good work

Way to go bro!! Congratulations!!! Dave J.

Main barrier between OUPV and master of inspected vessels is just citizenship. Having the master’s license opens up a lot more job opportunities.

I too am thinking about my next steps, after retirement, and I think we might be on to something(s). Thanks for sharing the video.

Great video indeed. Comgrats Captain and good luck on the next steps

GREAT VIDEO.

SUNY Maritime grad and tug captain now. Back in the day I started my journey as a mariner with the Mariners Learning System. I went and got my six pack. It actually helped me along with my career. After I graduated there is this purgatory until you actually pass the license exam at the USCG. Because I had a six pack I was able to use that seatime towards my raise in grade for master. Which without the six pack would have been lost time. I highly recommend the program if you are a computer person. A pro tip: avoid licensitis. Or getting every license and endorsement that you can simply because you qualify. Unless you have a job you want to take that requires a bigger license . Meaning it's going to make you more money, avoid spending the time and money upgrading. The idea is to make the most amount of money with the least amount of license.

Brian, great job on this video…really helpful and honest. What happens if you don’t pass one of the exams..including chart plotting? Can you attempt them again, and within what period of time. Congratulations on your journey Captain!

Congratulations

Well I have a twic with my cdl n haz... but its mostly for any port for container moves as well.. but like your content. I to from n.w. ind. So maybe see you out for some koho Easter weekend

great video! congrats. just wondering, is the chart for the proctored exam the same as the training chart or is it a totally different one.

Howdy, I noticed that during my course with MLS, in the chart plotting section, they never taught calculating set & drift. I am about to take the test. Did they remove that from the test? Do you remember having to calculate set & drift at all? Thanks in advance!

DO NOT get your OUPV if you want to make money......I got my master 25 ton 3 years ago and it was a complete waste of time and money. I live at the beach. The pay sucks, you are promised a bunch of lies and you get no benefits of any kind. I dont plan to renew it.
