Maybe an odd question, but I’m hoping someone here might have some info.

If I’m already a federal employee, are there any options to help expedite the hiring process?

Hey all, I'm currently with AMO however due to internal issues with the union and how it's looking to go downhill, I'm looking at switching to MSC for job security.

I've been in talks with a recruiter, and just wanted it fact checked. He's giving me the same numbers that the CIVMAR website is giving: 184k a year, 4 months on, 2 months off. And being a recruiter, of course he's saying that 2 months off is guaranteed now, and that it's very rare to be overdue unless you're a rescue swimmer. He's also saying I could get directly hired into 2/M, instead of starting at 3rd.

What are the actual income numbers I'd be looking at and is the 4on/2off rotation actually happening? Is there also a chance to be hired in as a Cargo 2nd, and not the Navigation 2nd? Last time I talked to anyone from MSC, I was a cadet and my 3rd and 2nd mates had been on board for over 8 months.

I know pay is entirely based on the type of ship. I'd expect to be assigned to a T-AO or T-AKE, due to having a Tankerman PIC, and away from the lower paid ships like the Zeus because I don't have DP.

Hey gents,

So I’m entering the industry and just signed a contract for my first job. I was super excited but seeing all this Jones act stuff has me really concerned.

Is the industry fucked or is this something that will blow over?

Anyone who applied to RET 2 position in the last 4 months get a NEO date yet?

Hi I am looking to work at MSC and am looking at the deck route. If I get accepted as an OS, can I choose to be a watchstander from the get-go?

Hello, I was looking at the entry level on the MSC website and was wondering if pay was accurate? I'm looking more towards deck, and would like to know about pay there. I would also like to hear from anyone who has made it through OS to AB, and how that process went.
