reddit:r/maritime · 2026-05-11 19:15:11 I'm slated to attend a maritime academy in the fall. Between this article and the Wall Street Journal article from last year, it seems like a good time to become a merchant mariner in the U.S. However, I've seen feedback on this subreddit that says there aren't a lot of jobs right now and the pay isn't as good as the academies are saying. Thoughts? submitted by /u/_apocalypse_meow [link] [comments]

reddit:r/merchantmarine · 2026-05-07 17:25:17 Well and truly fucked over by congress. I’ve had my application in for 3 months, I’ve been passed over twice for promotion even though I have my third mate license but I’m waiting on the USCG for my Ecdis and pic endorsement. They’re now saying 8-12 months? Goodbye career advancement and a much needed pay increase for my family. Not blaming the USCG, this is squarely a government failure with no accountabilit
