My DS is currently a plebe at USMMA, he needs to get his head straight on a couple of things and I don't know the answers:
1. When you go out to sea what is the typical time spent at sea. He currently understands that when you go out you are out there for years and will only have a day or two on shore. I would think they get more time off.....but I don't know!
2. Does everyone fulfil their 6 years out at sea or can they work for a US Merchant Marine Co. on shore or......... if they choose to do the Merchant Marine Option.
Thank you for your time and answers....
