Do I actually like being a Merchant Marine | My Honest Opinion | Daily Vlog

[@torrancemcintyre3507]

Congrats bro and good luck on your journey g.

[@tobyjamison6801]

If there was never anything to complain about, it wouldn't be a job. It would be an extensive hobby.

[@rogerabernathy7977]

bout to start MSC myself im real excited

[@bgirljapi]

I appreciate your candidness! What are some other companies other than SIU and MSC for entry level positions? And once you’ve been in the industry for a while, what are some other companies you can potentially work for?

[@Tr3TV2022]

Making a video on that now !

[@Cr00klynsFinest]

Aye bruh, i was just showing a homie of mine what i do for work and your video popped up. Im pretty sure you was in 3rd phase when i was in 1st. Im still sailing lmao 90% of my class (857) quit. Man i feel your answer tho, like it forreal is a yes and no answer. Busting out 120 days fucks with me, that shit is too long but the bread and vacation time is unmatched so it balances out i guess. Imma stay in it until i get my properties and business going than im out!! Stay strong out there, i know the pain we gotta deal with when we away from home!!!

[@Tr3TV2022]

I’m (844) more than likely I was in 3rd around that time & yea make .. we gotta hustle forward & not backwards.. not trying to be out here forever

[@edwardathanasaw5771]

Bro. Lickin his lips like a nervous twitch!!! Lol I love this guy...

[@hunterfindon1018]

I saw you have a dog, a puppy no less. How do you own a dog when you are away for half the year?

[@jeremiah1059]

Thanks for another great video Tre. I know it's hard to post when you're at sea. I saw the couple near misses last week but I'm sure that has to do with the terrible Wi-Fi out there. I should be going to Piney Point next month for the last CCAP class of the year. I just paid the $615 seafarers health and benefits union dues last week and am going to Greensboro NC on the 19th for my benzene, yellow fever, etc shots! I'm almost there and getting very excited. Talk at you later Bro..

[@francisco64628]

A wanna be a sefarer, what did you do? what do you advice me?

[@MaskedIG]

I’m with you on that, being a sailor is a roller coaster. Staying out there past when I’m ready to get out the industry, is a no. The pay is awesome

[@drrylwlls]

Aloha Trevion🤙🏾🌺✌🏾😁😉 it's good to see you doing OK my friend.

[@captT]

Great videos man. Youve been around on of bunch of different ships. From your experience what type of ships do you think pays deck guys/ mates the most?

[@picklepee2771]

I plan on being a merchant mariner so I don't have to work my whole life till I'm old. 5 years of saving money and wise investing should set me up with a pretty penny. Very insightful video

[@markmccarthy6986]

lol you trippin

[@picklepee2771]

@@markmccarthy6986 on the very low end, if I make 40k a year take home that's $200,000 pocketed. That's not including if you invest in stocks or crypto. Which it could easily double or increase by 50%. There's no way I'm working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week until I'm 65 and retire at the very end of my livelihood... I want to explore the world while I'm still young and able bodied.

I’m same way I don’t like being around people I rather work by myself

[@paullangland6877]

I'd like to get a job on a cargo ship after I get my bachelor's degree. I do want to work as a Merchant Marine for a few years. I hope I can get employed after I graduate, I will get the stuff when that time comes as well.

[@atsea713]

It’s a fun job but it’s also a shitty job. Scenery and money/benefits are great! Also not being around friends and family sucks. I almost wasn’t home when my mom died because I was at sea. Be prepared for the bad that comes with the good.

[@Tr3TV2022]

Thank you for sharing that 💯💪🏽

Great video! My boyfriend is MCS and he only gets 30 days off, you're lucky you get 3 months! And yeah it sucks not ever having service, I go days sometimes weeks without taking to him 😭 But dope content, keep grinding 🙏🏽

[@dasdasfasfasf7120]

i just want to to work 6 months and take 6 months vacations

I wouldn’t mind going to sea for 4 months and taking 2 months off, twice a year.

What cellphone provider do you use while out at sea or when you where stationed at SIU?

Great video by the way

[@Dustin-cm2bh]

Do you actually get your check whole or shared with ur family it is like that here in Philippines

[@Tr3TV2022]

I get my whole check … then if I want to share then I will

[@Richards_876]

Went starting out as a entry level seaman that come straight of the street do you get a room for yourself

[@dakotaguthrie14]

Depends on what ship you on. Most ships yea, you get a room and bathroom. Some ships you gotta share a bathroom but you get your room, others you gotta share room/bathroom but you work 12 hours and don't go in the room then you switch off with your bunk mate and he don't go in there for 12 hours.

[@dorianlogue4488]

Well I hope all goes well for you young gun. I doing a Carreras at one of the local high schools in Claremont CA on the 13th. I'm asking but I know of time is super valuable to you due to your profession. If you have the time on the 13th 0900 pst. We can put you in via zoom. I would like the kids to hear it from you and not an old-school dude like myself. Keep pushing great to see you cutting your path. By the way I.

[@picklepee2771]

Ima be honest the mustache and beard doesn't do it for you, you look a lot better clean shaven. For a few mins I thought I was on the wrong channel lol. Looked completely different. But I can understand being on the ship and way from home does warrant beard growth since you're pretty much isolated.

[@kevawyche4288]

Is it mandatory to be vaccinated or will it be soon or is there any exemption just asking thank you.🙏♥️

[@wanker7371]

SIU is mandating the vaccine on their ships, but I'm not certain about other companies and unions. But given the environment and travel the vaccine will most likely be mandatory for everyone within a year.

[@Tr3TV2022]

For sure !

[@wanker7371]

Keep in mind the covid vaccine is not unique in that regard. To work on ships you are required to have several other vaccines that most people don't get because you will have increased risk of exposure to those diseases.
