Maratime Acadamy and Credentials

To be able to work on any ships on the Great Lakes you have to have the right paperwork. You wouldn’t believe the hoops you have to jump thru. First I need to thank the Director of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy RADM Jerry Achenbach USMS a. Also for Jerry for helping me to get my resume to the ship owners. You must have a TWIC card, that is the government background check, and the MMC card. Plus you must have a physical and drug test. There is a good deal of work and cost to get all set up. I now have all that groundwork done and am waiting for my MMC card to arrive. After that we will be ready to sail.
