When I first started repairing forklifts, the company put me with the most cantankerous grumpy person I ever met. I thought the company was trying to get me to quit. I listened, learned and tried to stay one step ahead of him without being told. He taught me a lot. Not only forklifts but life in general. He always told me “ don’t make the same mistakes I did boy”. We ended up becoming good friends. He taught me a lot about everything he knew. I am retired now at 54 and try to share what I learned thru life. RIP Bob!

Previous Tug Thug here. Ran offshore and near coastal for several years. I miss working tugs, but moved on to cruise ships to further my engineering credentials.

Your advice on how to conduct yourself as a new hire is universally applicable to most, if not all, jobs. No one likes a know-it-all no matter what the situation. Some of the best advice I ever got as a young rookie lawyer was from the senior law partner who was fifty years older than me. He also gave me some Datil pepper plants to plant in my yard. One of his sayings is that things are hardly ever as bad or good as you first think they are. This is true.

Stumbled in here and, Ian, this is gold! I am retired now but when I was 16, my parents gave me two lessons that I used in life. Mom- If someone else can do it, so can I. Dad- you're job is to make your supervisor look good. They should never have to stand before their boss and explain why you screwed up. Be on time, respectful, and do it right. I used those principles and went from a coal digging laborer to a Sr. Nuclear Mechanical Instructor/Supervisor. I got there by doing everything you said (minus the cooking, that was't required LOL).

Some pro tips from a salty Captain up North. When you are knocking on doors. Have a bag packed with everything you will need for two weeks in your car. When you finally get a call, they will need a warm body immediately. For guys working already; you are entitled to a free passport from the special issuance agency. 100% on the personality, attitude, and being a good shipmate. As captain I will often overlook deficiencies on deck if a guy is good at the rest of the job. On a tug, you have to be self motivated. If it's dirty, clean it, if its broke, fix it. If it's rusty, paint it. If it's garbage, get rid of it. For the coffee, it's usually two scoops:)

I definitely enjoyed the topic for this video. I do have a TWIC, I actually renewed it while I was out on disability. I worked security at Jaxport. All right enough said there. You did say that we should give you our honest feedback I believe. And what I wanted to say was I just need to see more of what your job specifically is, either that or other people's jobs on the tugboat. You never really went into detail, only talked about how grueling and physical but also having a sense of accomplishment and motivation. I was waiting though to see what actually entails the job. You said you have more videos coming out. I'm hoping that you get more into that on them, and then I could figure out something for myself, because I'm not sure if I'm going back to security after I'm totally healed up, but I always wanted to do something or to break in to either owning a boat and chartering, or just be a first mate and do basically grunt work. I'm 56, in my second marriage. I believe that this would be a perfect match for me if I could handle what's going on. Like I said I need to get healed up first before I can even think about what I need or can do. Thanks brother! My comments are always super long. And I apologize for that, but I like to think that maybe I'll seem more interested than the regular average Joe, and really much so, I do! So do me a favor, keep putting those videos out like that and your other stuff with fishing etc. They keep me motivated and psyched up for when I can actually get back out there and do something myself!
