I hope they are crusty enough to teach you how to not get killed. Pay attention and please stay safe.
Lil their great at actually teaching. And their safety but out the wazoo which is a nice change of pace fromnsome other other work I've done. Some of the other guys are complaining but i have gotten cussed out twelve times or had various tools thrown at my head so i call that pretty good natured lol.

Wolfie be a sponge and soak up all that knowledge from those instructors. The companies in NY harbor are begging for help. A lot of tugs docked because of no help. These guys are making serious money. Thank the unions for that :-(

If you spend two weeks at sea, you'll get a better idea of what's ahead in this field, but it will only be a minimal "taste" of what's it's all about.

Keep track of your "sea time". If you stick with it, get your captains license some day, and you'll be in fat city. ^^^^ this Document it. Every day.

Wolfy the greatest man I ever worked for could tear you up a butt better than no other. Man you had it right when he was done with you. Come quitting time it was NEVER brought up again, the paychecks were never late, and in the end you knew he cared a ton for his guys. I miss that guy, they quit making them.
Your on a terrific path, stay focused and do well. Sure you screw up, that’s what beginners do for a living. Your doing good things.
