Week In The Life Of A Merchant Mariner | Pay Day Vlog | Ship Sailing through Hurricane IDA

This is a week in the life of a Merchant Mariner. These last couple of weeks have been absolutely crazy , I haven’t been able to post videos because I’ve simply just haven’t had good enough service to post. So I hope this video makes up for it .
In this video I’ll be showing you guys how a week in my life of here on the ship goes , I also threw a pay segment into the video just to give you guys more of an idea of what I make out here . No sugar coding .. keep it real & straight to the point . Hopefully I’m able to post more videos here soon … but until then I’ll see you guys next time !
But I hope you guys enjoy the video &

I read on siu program it said you need 20/20 vision. My right eye is perfect but left eye is poor. Will this effect me getting in ? Also, im 38 years old. Is their an age cut-off? How long between phases ? Do you need another job between phases ? Thank you for your videos. I really want to do this. Thanks bro....

    Their is an eye test that is part of your physical exam so you’ll need to be able to pass tht. I don’t think Their is a age cut off. I have a 50 year old woman in my class that’s in the program and she’s doing just fine. First phase is 15 weeks, then u go straight to second phase is 2months for deck or 120 days steward I think, after second phase you get to go home, and the other phases I’m not too sure how long they are. I doubt you’d need a job after second phase.

    @@jauntewade1946 It already is though. There's a federal mandate requiring all companies with over 100 employees to have a 100% vaccination rate. That goes into effect on December 8th, and it's highly unlikely anything is going to prevent it from going through. This mandate started out as only affecting government contractors, but was expanded upon. Given the amount of military freight that gets moved on ships, I'd say that most large shipping companies will be considered military contractors.
