To give you another thought, the post by RebelRider clearly documents his start to finish drama to find work. A couple years ago a guy who’s name was “ordinary seaman” on here was posting his progress for over 2 years while he attended PMI workboat academy on the left coast. He was doing stupendous. Then at the end , when he got a short job at a participating company he was gone. In a flash. Never to be heard of again. What happened? Did his expectations of what it would be like gone for a month (or more) not meet his reality? Did he get so violently seasick he quit? We don’t know. ( well really I can’t recall each.guy who can’t take it and has quit working with me either!)
