Do it. I worked with a guy whose brother joined the merchant Marines in his early 20s and spent the next 20 years making money without paying rent and then he just found this country Thai woman and used all his savings to buy a ranch in rural bum fuck Thailand and now he just lives there growing exotic fruits, fishing, and raising his kids.Comfy
>>540207979You will be surrounded by jeets and sea monkeys.
>>540209066did he say if bootcamp was hard? did he have to go to iraq or Afghanistan?
>>540207979Redpill me on itIs it like what your OP pepe represents? If so, it sounds like libertarians; which I support.
>>540209171No I don't think merchant Marines have Boot Camp. He basically just went on some boats for like months at a time interacting with Third Worlders who work at the different ports all over the world. He learned a couple languages and was able to save up lots of money because you don't pay rent when you're on the boat
And to give more information this is a white man from America who did this
Merchant marine here. Shipping internationally means going to 3rd world shitholes. Shipping domestically means you will work around alot of niggers.All us flagged ships pay us wages and requires 100% officers to be us citizens and 75% of crew us citizens.You have bootcamp if you go through some unions to get vested for hiring preference, you must be in a union unless you are a direct hire with a company. You can go that route which is getting to be more common now because dei in unions means you are basically going to an inner city school in Jacksonville Florida.I recommend going to a maritime academy and going the officer route. They have more of a boot camp their first year and then all other years are regular college without as much woke shit. Mostly white too, women want to do it and they aren't all dykes so you might get a gf.Passport bros are cringe losers. Best part is 4 months on and then 4 months off for a rotational schedule. I was eligible for unemployment because of my last ship and then went to montenegro, to bang russian sluts on vacation.Money is ok, no rent and then can move back in with parents in between ships for awhile before they start to ask what your plans are and about moving out.Seasickness ends alot of people's career on their first ship, which is hilarious to watch irl.
>>540209945I don't want to work around niggersCan they even swim?
>>540210207No, they can't really do anything. If your an officer you can order them around and dont have to work with them. Yelling at them is accepted and if they call you a witch you can tell captain then they are fired, off at next port and ordered to stay in room if they start to chimp.I have worked with older guys before who said back in the day captain was allowed to carry a hand gun. Back in the day meaning 2008. Lol
>>540210385>nigger are actually fired for not doing workThat is actually based. I was fired from my IT job because I was sick of all the niggers around not doing any work and putting it all on me, and there was only one other white guy that bowed down to bbc. I told my manager but he didn't do anything.I would tell them to stop being lazy and to do actual work. This happened multiple time and I was sent to HR and fired.
>>540207979Merchants are faggot twinksJoin the warrior marines instead
>>540210706It happens because any fight that ends up getting worse can lead to people pushing and shoving, ie going over the side and people die. Alot of responsibility on captains and officers to hold people in line. One guy said to me hey white boy give me a cigarette, I said hey black boy go get your own cigarettes. ( you can buy them in ship slop chest for like 20or 30$ a carton.) He was pissed and I basically told him if he doesnt want to be black boy I'm not white boy and he can go talk to captain if he doesnt like it or I will. He rolled his eyes and sauntered off. He was later fired by chief mate because he just didn't like him. Lol being an entitled nigger gets you nowhere in this industry. People who can't get jobs for criminal histories end up doing this stuff. One of my friends I met got 3 dui's lol.>>540210803We carry ammo on us flagged ships and take it to our military bases that so happen to be in nice places like Germany and Okinawa. Can't trust non US flagged ships with that stuff. Also cabbotage laws like the Jones act protect us merchants from being outsourced with jeets .the people you work with may not be based but they America first and see first hand how shit other countries are, some hide their power level and you can see through it. Good job recommend, dont have to get blown up for uncle Sam if you dont want because you have a choice what ship you end up on and can sign off at anytime.
>>540211541Pay any good?
>>540212342One company i worked with like 28$/h and then maybe 10 hours over time a week. Easiest job I ever had, harbor tug for windmill project. Worked with all whites alot would complain about the green agenda. 2 black guys...for diversity sake, one on at a time rotate one month on one month off.Container ships, pay is less but work 7 days a week, can get ot 4 hours a day. So money adds up after a few months. After tax about 5 grand a month on the low end for an AB. Your payscale is done by seadays and uscg certifications, so it depends.
