[@devcappalott]

quick question fam does it matter where u live, like i stay in fort myers currently jus moved over here. also how long are u on the ship at a time?

[@ClintHavinnn]

It doesn’t matter where you live, and you can have flexible schedules I do 28 days on 14 days off

[@devcappalott]

@@ClintHavinnn bet preciate that. def gon try n get into this shii, once i get my card n stuff where can i apply? or will the school help you get a job?

[@redbandz5316]

Yoo Clint does quality control have job placement or are you on your own?

[@ClintHavinnn]

You’ll have to ask

[@Zi.4president]

1 aye boy you raw ash 👏

[@ClintHavinnn]

Preciate dat

[@Hbk.ben_23]

I see course you took(Able Seaman) and you said do it after you get your twic and it’s only a band. I got a homeboy who say take basic training with vpdsd. What’s the difference. Are both getting you mmc and is there a pay difference.

[@ClintHavinnn]

Take basic training 1st with vpdsd that’s how you get your certificates to get on the boat. You take able seaman when you get 180 sea days

[@ClintHavinnn]

Basic training is the class you take to get your ordinary seaman license that’s lvl 1. When I took it it was $895, able seaman is a different price it depends on what school you go to and when you send your info and certificates off to the coast guard you get MMC book through the mail

[@tommiemincey4057]

Can you make a video of what you had to do next ...After you did MMC and and past the test thanks in advance

[@ClintHavinnn]

Yes

[@JinxxuG]

I’m new to the channel G. So I can work 12 weeks and be off 12 weeks 🧐. Like how do that work ?

[@Justmee05]

What’s good G. I’m interested in changing careers What’s the full steps u have to take to become a mariner. And did u have job placements or u had to look and apply yourself?

[@ClintHavinnn]

You got instagram?

[@user-xi6mh6lk6i]

Hi, what company do you work for? Im just got my mmc and I want to work on board of a supply boat! I live at the coast of mississippi. Thanks for the videos

[@hunchomahdi3792]

Fen a khouya i just got a job at MSC as a SU. I don’t start yet you think u can tell me how it all goes?

[@Regularshowguy124]

After you get you twik and MMC how long does it take before you can start your first day on the job?

[@ClintHavinnn]

If you apply for jobs like it’s your last day living.. you’ll be on your first job sooner than you think. Part 2 coming soon turn on post notification

[@Hxxva5252]

Soo when you doo the application for the mmc does the passport and twice have to be with it

[@ClintHavinnn]

No you can do it separately

[@lilnarie]

I’m working on getting my shit right now

[@Ethan-bk2tp]

Hey bro I just got recently released from prison in Florida and I’m trying to do this Merchant Seaman stuff. Now do you need a passport to qualify for these jobs? Or can you do this with just the twic and the basic training?

[@ClintHavinnn]

You don’t need passport it’s jobs that don’t require it, just take basic training and get twic
