I served in the Navy, I'm about to turn 36, and I can't wait to start my assignment with MSC.

[@BrethemJackson]

6:15 LOL I love your mindset

[@diorychambers3259]

“Don’t let people trick you out of your position” which big big facts bro & yes keeping a clean run helps ur mental…. Great advice you put in my mind right now I kno I’m a yr late wit this comment but it helps a lot keep grinding king

[@christopherherring3470]

Don't mind being gone I drive trucks Not to much of a problem working 7 days a week

[@jondo9919]

Great vid with facts folks need to know before jumping in. Keeping your eyes on the prize and remembering your plan, why you’re there. You do have a plan, don’t you? Without your own plan, you’re just aimless. Great job!

[@Sijuwade]

All FACTS! Been sailing 11 years MSC. Now crossing over to SIU.

[@2frmdaview]

Whats the difference between Msc snd siu do one get paid more then the other im new and im looking to be apart of this but dont know the difference.

[@Sijuwade]

@@2frmdaview If you’re new to sailing just go to MSC to get your feet wet. Please don’t be concerned about Pay. Remember you’re new to this you won’t be making what the big boys are making. That takes time.

[@misterceo2168]

@@Sijuwade y’all always give stupid advice telling people since they new don’t be concerned with the pay. I been sailing awhile and soon as I came in the game I searched for the BEST PAYING ENTRY LEVEL company and got hired. Always telling folks don’t worry about the money like a damn fool

‼️YOU REAL TALKING ‼️ Thx💕

[@geddon436]

Wish I could do this type of work. Chronic health problems really is demoralizing.

[@comm2531]

Yup know all about that. 5 years on a ship with way less time off than you. I was contractor on the MPS ships. All those places youve been to and named. From my experience, most merchant seaman when in port just go to the bars or clubs. No real time to explore the country and too busy. We contractors had the weekends off and we explored way more in country plus we only did 8 hours a day when working. We could go to shore and disappear easier than Merchant Seaman. We also had military dod id card could use px, commissary.

[@maxphilly]

Bro much love keep doing your thing and these vids this stuff is super interesting 🔥

[@comm2531]

We had NINTENDO back in 1990. I have motion sickness pills I picked up at AAFES online for the wife or whomever if we go deep sea fishing. I never got seasick since the military. You want motion sickness, go inside an amphibious tracked vehicle with 25 packed in loaded down Marines.

[@ravenramirez5699]

How much time do you get off after being underway for a mission?

[@derrickscott4888]

Thanks for the videos man, I come from a family of merchant marines. I'm planning to enroll into the SIU academy next year

Good luck bro 💯

[@paullangland6877]

Thank you, I am looking to maybe try and join Merchant Marines after I get my bachelor's degree. I've been at the for about 7 years like Tommy Boy lol although I was doing my schooling part time. I live nearby Lake Superior about 60 or 70 miles away from there in Northwest Wisconsin. I was medically discharged from the navy in 2007 during basic training and I really want to try and serve my country even if it's not formally like the military is but it's still pretty disciplined. But I am also 32 going on 33 and I so I can go to an academy since I'm too old. I'm really interested in just working on a cargo ship and going around seeing parts of the world or just even working between the US and Canada on the Great Lakes. Honestly, the money is a benefit but it's really not the money but the experience that I want. I just feel like it would be something that I'd like to try if I could.

[@litwavy6376]

I know you listed all the Cons but what are some things that shouldn’t be on your mind when you get on a ship?

Do you need to start at a cruise line to become a merchant marine?

[@slimnutta]

I just got information about becoming a merchant seaman last week. I 42 years old, from Charleston, SC. I been stuck with this since. I been watching your videos since yesterday & currently watching still. Reach out to me, if you can...thanks💯😎💪🏾

Sorry I’m seeing this so late 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@charli8023]

How long do you stay in these countries you visit?

[@denigma68rltw]

Depends on the types of ships you are on. If you bare on a container or tanker ship it can be 18-24 hrs. If you are in a car carrier it can be 24-48hrs. Grain ships it can be about a week in port. Military Sealift Command Ships you can be in port for weeks at a time. It just depends on the vessel you are on.

[@toby43078]

Please tell me you beat cheeks when you get into ports?

Whats the demographics of most ships you been on? I feel like I see a lot of bruthas in the merchant marines.

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

Pro not paying for living? Ok yah aint no rent on the boat. what about your crib back home? Mortgage or rent? Saw u have a nice place! U got a tenant back home? Maybe some are homeless and when off the boat simply get an air bnb between contracts? Or live rough out of a vehicle or stay with family?

[@Tr3TV2022]

Like I said … a pro is not paying for living .. I know people who live with there parents when they get home , house hack , AirB&B.. all type of stuff .. if your going to be on a ship 8 months out the year .. why not ? As for me .. I do what I wanna do .. & I still save 90% of my income because I have a gf that splits every with me .. so not even half of one check is what I spend on bills

[@denigma68rltw]

​@@Tr3TV2022 When I was in SIU I would live in Bali, Indonesia. Also spend a few weeks to months at Piney Point taking all the classes I can take towards my Third Mates Unlimited License.

And remember if you are having a bad contract, never forget there is foreign seamen earning less than $1000 per month working the same as you.
