Finding an Ordinary Seaman Job

[QUOTE=Slick Cam;172792]Im not a Navy man but I am kin to many and friends to many more. My general sense from talking with them is that qm/bm are not particularly coveted rates and choosing either upon enlistment or striking into them once in the Navy is not a problem. Presto…4 years of tough deck department experience.

Or go to Paul Hall, and do what they say and you’ll get where you want to be.[/QUOTE]If I had known about all the verteran’s preference hiring companies do, I would have gone to the military first. That’s another reason it’s a good idea.

Yup, and how everyone thinks that at “oiler”, is different from a qmed, and that oiler is and entry level rating. I think a lot of deckies are guilty of that too, not just office people.
