https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_mariner#United_States or from gCaptain, which is linked elsewhere in the thread as a source of info on this particular incident: http://gcaptain.com/mariner/ it will take years of sea time and weeks of classes to even get your Able Seaman (AB) or 100 ton master license. If you want 500/1600 ton mate or masters then even more years of sea time and months of classes. All of these requirements are outlined by the Coast Guard, but they change the rules all the time. You are never really done; every five years, when you come up for your license renewal, you will have to take some refresher courses. Sadly, none of this may be completed while you are at work, but rather while you are on your off time. It is expensive to take these classes and while sometimes your company will pay for the classes, room, and board, don’t count on it. (edit:format) |
