I grew up working farms in Wisconsin and am able to work hard and I'm willing to risk the dangers. Any advice is helpful.
Thanks

I forgot about this group until now. I was security aboard the USNS Neptune (Cable repair ship) while in dry dock. They have the MSC (Military Sealift Command) you'll get to start as an oiler or such and can work your way up to Captain if you have the desire....I spoke with some of the crew, they had visited several other ports (Japan, Singapore and Australia) All at pretty good pay...
