Young greenhand here. Took a year off of schooling at a Maritime Academy to work and save up some money. I’ve got my MMC with OS and Wiper endorsements and I’m ready to put them to use. I bounce around between New Orleans and Ocean Springs MS. Anyone have any advice for getting on with any companies down here? Any recommendations for companies to contact?

Everyone is hiring. The industry all around is short handed.

The forum search function is your friend.

Good luck.
