You would check “Deck”. Look at your MMC. If your entry level ratings include Food Handler check that as well. If you have any STCW related rating (which I doubt) check that as well. ---

Just medical cert? No application needed. Just send the physical form in to the medical email. ---

Edit: Correction from Chief\_Seadog below (I did mis-read OP’s question). But I’ll leave the FAQ link in case anyone needs it. [NMC Medical Cert FAQ](https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/NMC/pdfs/faq/med_cert_faq.pdf) > 1. How do I submit an application? > For a medical certificate only, the preferred way to submit your CG-719K or CG-719K/E (medical certificate applications) along with any supplemental medical information is via e-mail to MEDAIP@uscg.mil. Please include your full name in the subject line. Please ensure the applications are in PDF format, as picture formats (JPG, GIF, etc.) often cannot be opened. > A CG-719B is not required and there are no fees associated with applying for a medical certificate. ---

@New3M and @shipengr, re-read what the OP was asking. CG-719K is the **Application** for Medical Certificate. The bottom of Section 1 asks Endorsement Held or Sought with several check boxes. @Tugboater203 is correct.
