Nice dude. Did you have to do HUET training by any chance? I had to do that to fly out to some of the rigs and boy is that course a rush. And I'm a fan of the water either (or at least not a fan of being forcibly submerged).

I am not required to take that training. Thought about taking it just for the experience.

Spose not since you stick to the sea and not the air. Did you go to the Robert training center for survival craft training? That's where I did HUET (and survival craft). I got my Rigpass in Houma though.
 
Congrats!

Is that cert only good for working the oil rigs? OR, can you use it to get into the Merchant Marines or one of the other merchant ship careers?
 
Congratulations! Do they give Questionable seaman certificates as participation awards to the lesser participants? :^P
 
Congrats, TH. But how do we know that is real? I don't see the TH name in the field.

Is that the longform of your seaman certificate, or a photocopy?

:hmm:

I found BOSIET more enjoyable because we were able to use an EBS
