I am in the process of applying for the Harry Lundeberg Seamanship school.
I’m almost finished with my essay and I have no problem pulling reference letters
from my employer and non family members. My only concern is my record.
I have 6 misdemeanors which are: 2 DUIS 1 Receiving Stolen and 3 shoplifting incidents.
Now, these are all over five years old, and I’ve even been planning to get them expunged,
but that can take up to six months. I want to go ahead and apply for Piney Point right now.
Any thoughts on what I should do and do any of you know someone with a similar situation that
has gotten in?
Sounds like you will fit in just fine at Piney Point. Your record is tame by comparison for some of the guys that were in my class. I hope you’ve got your compulsion under control. I hate seeing the blank look on people’s faces onboard when something disappears. You’ve been at sea for a month or more and something is missing and everyone denies knowing anything about it. There are only X number of people onboard and a finite amount of places you could have “lost” whatever it is. Somebody knows something somehow someway.
i just had a hat get nicked, and what’s worse is I think I know who has it but if you accuse someone here it’s a lot more stink than it’s worth.
Before I leave I’ll mention the incurable scalp disease I have and watch him squirm (no I don’t have a scalp disease)
