I Went to School for Basic Safety Revalidation

In this video, join me as I go to the school to take my basic safety training revalidation, which is required every 5 years. I went to the beautiful campus in southern Maryland at the Paul Hall Center for the class.

Jeff, this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I will be attending the apprenticeship program in just 3 months time, super stoked to attend the school and start my career. Thanks for the video, fair winds and following seas.

[@JeffOnboard]

Hey thanks to you as well, and hope to sail with you one day. 😎🚢⚓️🌊

It's wonderful to see how the SIU has built such an amazing facility. Invested so much in the education, training and above all safety of its members. I wish my body could physically do what you do. I'm disabled, I can't pass the physical or even try.

[@JeffOnboard]

Yes, it is a beautiful campus and a very peaceful place... I'm just glad you are here enjoying and watching the videos and I appreciate it.😎🚢⚓️🌊

The training center looks like a fantastic super clean place Jeff. You always know a seafarer when he walks into his hotel and calls the bathroom the Head ! Take Care Jeff.

[@JeffOnboard]

Lol, that's funny I did not even do that on purpose I must just be a natural thing...."the head"🤣

[@blueshiftministries5554]
