Great thread guys. Lots of good information! Im new to the site, and have used search etc. This is more a question of being some “qualified” Im currently a planner/trainer with a trucking company, and have been thinking more and more about trying to sign on with MSC. I wanted to join the Navy, but I have too many bills now!
Anyways, Ive got a CDL A with over 350,000 safe miles , 4 years as a machinery mechanic with Reynolds(Alcoa) and a year of HVAC, and some other supervisor stuff. Would these things, along with a BST class(taking it once I get my MMC) be worth anything vs someone else with no ship experience? I’d like to think yes, but the more I read about the maritime industry, the more confused I get as to what they like and don’t like!!
Thanks in advance, sorry if this is the wrong thread!
Thanks for the Great info Martilyo, I read the whole thread.
