Looks like I'm going to Antarctica
    #15465399 - 12/04/11 04:58 PM (12 years, 2 months ago)

I just got a phone call then, P&O is looking for people to man the research & supply vessel that services Antarctica... and they can't find anyone because the oil & gas industry boom is sucking all the seafarers out west chasing the money (what I wanted to do... but will have to go later now... )I need to do a special medical cert for it which apparently takes 6 weeks which gives me time to chill the fuck out... then I'll be shipping out for 6 weeks to hang out with penguins and freeze my balls off

:awebig:




A few of my mates have worked on this ship and a couple of others that go down that way, basically just said it's cold as fuck... but yeah, w/e,... will be good for the experience!

I've always imagined the antarctica station to be like a huge party.  You don't stay trapped in a confined space and the freezing cold with a bunch of people without either having wicked parties or killing each other.

I saw a doco on the research stations down there and they said they literally get sent crates and crates of condoms every trip...

i'm pretty sure they're all dry, though (the ship and the bases) which means no alcohol

If you don't touch a penguin then it was not a successful trip.

It is actually badass to be able to freeze your nuts there!

I am an integrated rating

I kind of float between deck, engine room and bridge/navigational watchkeeping.

all rounder

basically i get paid to do fuck all, though. it's pretty cruisy... but boring at times. I recently started my deck watchkeeping understudy for my 2nd mates ticket... but that's going pretty slow... motivation is lacking to make this career stretch past 10 years... but the money and leave is too good it's hard to pass up

if you're in america i don't really know to be honest... look up shipping companies and see if they are taking people for deck ratings or something, or if you are good at maths see if you can get a cadetship (better job imo) or something but pretty much no other country's maritime industry pays as well or gives as much leave as australia so i'd probably avoid it or something

or go to europe and get on the private yachts, good money and you get to fuck yourself stupid and get paid for it :thumbup:
