i used to be a navy corpsman for 4 years. i am a shellback now and have plenty of experience on the sea. i would love to find out if your hiring any greenhorns. right now im in south florida and i have 3 kids. if you can advise me on how to get a job with out going to the docks and talking to different captains. i would just fly out to where you need me and start working. and with my medical experience from the navy i feel i would be a great asset. any assistance you can give me or let me know would be greatly appreciated.

Hey can I just hang out wit'you guys. I don't wanna crab or nuthin I just wanna hang out. I could be pretty useful too. I know how to relay messages like I could talk to the camera for the Capatain. You know like on Star Trek where the pointy eared guy tells the CaptaIN EVERYTHING THATS GOING ON. I'm sooo excited. I can't speel anymore.. ooooh. I can cook too I can make microwave omlets and TV Dinners. I can warm up bagels and I learnt how to make those sausage sandwichs. I went to film school so if they need another camera guy I do that too. I will read a book about diesel mechanics so's you can get rid of the mechanical guy too. and then I can make a machine like that guy Eric wants to make and the boat will be all robotic and chit. OOOOOH man. This is gonna be soooo coooooooaaall. OK, OK my email addres is: Rambo@VAPsychhosp. gov so hurry up and e-mail me before they pass out the meds. Cool

None of you guys will ever get hired by posting ads on an internet message board and I guarantee you that. If you want the job you just need to fly out there and start beating the docks.

Suggestion: Mail a resume, cover letter, and letters of recommendation.

Hint: If you have a criminal past, try to find letters of recommendation that are NOT from your parole officer and attorney.

Good one,
seriously, back in the 80s I was invited to greenhorn on one of the crab boats.
I was fishing on the east coast.
Decided to stay, didn't want to start at the bottom again.
Plus skippering for whale watchers was easy money.

ok first off you dont have to go to the dock what you have to do is grab a phone book or look online for the different fishing companies most of them are docked out of seattle anyways like the northwestern and the wizard so find which company owns the boat fill out an application and see if they call you.

The first thing you need to be ,is a little insane.That is on the top 10 of going fishing.I have seen many people promise me many things they can do in the bar.I was a surf clam boat captain for 22 years.I have see them come and go,sometimes there is that one person that will suprize you.I think that if people tried this job they wouldnt say much about the price of sea food any more.That goes for all fishing.The deadlyest catch is what ever that crew is fishing for and any where our fisherman brothers travel.The men and women that do this job know,it could be a nice day or hell geting handed out.the moment you set foot on that boat its on.When things go wrong they realy go wrong.We all lost alot of freinds out there and family,for me.I will say this much,once you put them boots on they dont come off.You might leave for a while,but you will be back.It calls to you.
