ECG, listen to the advise Tom B gave you and get your AB ticket if at all possible. Start as AB and prove yourself and you WILL get promoted.

Galliano, LA, hwy. 1 south, lots of boat companies, pack your bags and yes fill out an app and try to talk to someone, bring your TWIC and MMC, there’s a bed and breakfast down there called Chateau on the Bayou, ( she’s on face book, under that screen name) it’s like $50 a night and the lady there knows a lot about were all the companies are,
