. I know I have to work as a mate or master for 360 days before I get my 500-ton.

You don’t. See 46 CFR 11.421.

I thought I had to have 360 days with App. Mate endorsement before I applied for Mate of Tow.

All you need is 30 days on a tug, a 500 ton it higher license, and a TOAR.

No you don’t. Whoever told you that was mistaken and needs to stop misinforming people.
