Wasn't that hard to call. We don't work anywhere near that hard. Just get paid more.

I do know the feeling though, was in the Navy.

Default Merchant Marines - hiring round the clock $$$$

Lot's of jobs for merchant marines right now. Our wages just shot up in the last 2-3 years by up to 50% in some cases after being flat lined for the last 20 plus years. We are a dying breed but the need keeps rising for anyone interested.....

I get motion sickness seeing two girls playing tennis, the wife been begging me to go on a cruise with her, cause I won't do it, the last two times I've been on a boat, I got sea-sick in the BAHAMAS on the glass bottom boat, BUT I didn't get sick when I went to pay my respect to ALL those sailors that lost their lives on DEC. 7 1941 in PEARL HABOR !!

Looks like there's only two of us on DB, and we both work on the same ship. That's a damn shame. I'm gonna have to get the word out to all my fellow Merchant Marine Engineers. We need some more representation here.

Hey, does that make me eligible for minority rights, money, ACLU representation, and affirmative action?

Sure, you can have all of the ACLU representation that you want.
