Not particularly /out/.

You're stuck on a box. If it's an aircraft carrier, maybe your box is a kilometer long or so. But absolutely everything in your box is civilized.

You might see some interesting sights or stop at some interesting places, but there will be a lot of boredom.

Best part of my day is having a cup of coffee or tea while watching the sun rise and set.
Only thing to me that comes as close to that is being out in the middle of the ocean on a calm clear night where it's so clear all you see is stars. Sometimes it's so calm you cant tell where the sky and water start and end.
Its truly amazing

Deck. Started out in the USN, got out and now I'm here. The life is def what you make it to be. Money depends on position, platform and a few other things. I'm only making 400 or so a day. My capt is pulling almost 12 a day lol.

Not him, but do you have to go through the Merchant Marine academy in order to work on a MM ship? Or is that only for running/managing a ship?

British merchant navy deck officer here. You can start working on the deck as a deckhand etc. having done a few basic courses, then once you have a set amount of sea time you can start working your way up. Or you can do a cadetship (google SSTG, Clyde Marine Training if Brit and interested).

Its different for every country.
But you can do a merchant mariner school, or come up through the ranks on your own and rack up seat time and when you have enough do more schooling and upgrade your license when you can or want.

I used my gi bill from the navy to get all of my credentials when I got out

Our engine room caught fire and within minutes the entire wheelhouse was flames. I had to get on too of said burning wheelhouse to launch/activate the life raft. Wild shit but I still LOVE working on the water.

This is why you are supposed to keep your fire extinguisher in a clear location, and everyone on board should know where it is, and how to operate it.

400 a day sounds nice I make 180 currently since I’m only running AB special will get bumped to $200 a day when I upgrade to AB limited. Will be much better once oil comes up.

How do you like sailing deep sea? I kinda want to switch once I have a mates ticket.
