Mariner in training here. I'm studying marine engineering which as you know is polar opposite of what y'all do with a deck license. Only about a year left until I get my license as a. 3 A/E. What are some things you wish you knew about the engine side? And also, what are some deck skills you think would be good for an engineer to know?

Yeah I go to SUNY Maritime so I know exactly what you mean by engine and bridge observer watches. I think that Cel nav is extremely cool to learn but it sounds like a pain in the ass in all honesty. But I was reading previous comments and in all honesty you couldn't be more right about us having unreal jobs. We travel the world and see places people dream of before we're even 25, and we get paid white collar money to do blue collar work. Doesn't get much better!
