Seems like a shit way of life to me. I almost enlisted in the navy til I watched a video about life on a ship. I went in the air force instead.

Life on a Navy ship is objectively terrible. Like plenty of other areas in the military a whole lot if is dedicated to making you miserable.

That said, merchant ships are almost nothing like navy ships from design to operation.

But life at sea certainly isn't for everyone.

To me, in both cases youre surrounded by nothing but metal and the ocean. Theres limited internet, you mostly read books, play cards to pass the time. You live where you work for days/weeks at a time. I couldnt do it.

None of my own because I've been lucky enough to avoid having to work that giant bitch, but these were posted on facebook.

Triggered.

It's "Merchant Mariners"

For me there's a sense of adventure. You're going out where there's nothing except what you bring with you. I essentially have an office with an incredible view, and I personally get to direct the ship.

My favorite part is visiting new ports, seeing things that most people never will, or places you've only ever heard about in passing.

And there's something therapeutic about being away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Truly unplugged and almost unreachable. I miss it when I'm ashore.

I don't know what one needs to do to instantly wreck a manual. Usually this sort of problems really manifest only on driving school cars, where the mishaps happen repeatedly.

The only time I've smoken a clutch was when I was working as a depot driver in a bus depot and tried to take off against the parking brake. Thankfully the mechanic hear my revving up and rushed to show me the one low pressure check valve that the other models didn't have. By that time, the air was thick with the tell-tale smell of burnt rubber. The bus rolled out fine, but I must have putten exta 100000 km on the poor clutch in 30 seconds.

Navigator

USCG licensed Second Mate, unlimited, oceans

4 years professionally, 4 as a student

Went to a Maritime College.

Thought I wanted to join the Navy out of college and fly planes. Then I met the people I'd be competing against and decided I wasn't that motivated. Didn't really even have a clue how the maritime industry worked until I went to college. It's probably the closest you can get to a technical school and still get a real degree.

I dunno. I've taken research vessels to my job in the Antarctic, and it seems like a life I would enjoy.

I've always enjoyed being part of a smaller crew, traveling, fixing shit. Maybe it would suck, I don't know. I just know that I'm not happy unless I'm moving.

Are you at Tomahawk? I grew up in Tomahawk & Hayden Bay.

Or are you across from the Hooters at Jantzen ;)
