A Post-Service Career

Leaving military service can be difficult for servicemen and servicewomen. This separation can be stressful to the veteran trying to find some meaningful way to make a living out of uniform. It is unfortunate that veterans sometimes find their active duty skills don’t translate into fulfilling civilian jobs. Military mariners, however, can be exceptions, as military sailors receive exhaustive training that meets many of the requirements for a merchant mariner license. Unfortunately, administrative roadblocks sometimes prevent military training and qualification from translating directly into a merchant mariner credential.
