At 10:24 this morning, a simple phone call changed my life. It was the Director of the program at Pacific Maritime Institute calling, to say "Welcome Aboard!".
Yesterday I had a Skype interview with Dunlap towing in Everett WA, and apparently I managed to do ok and land the job. I'll be starting out as a cadet, and moving into an "AB" (Able-Bodied Seaman) after a few rounds of classes.
My first round of classes at PMI starts up next week and I'll have to do some tests/physicals/employee indoctrination stuff during that time, but it looks like I will be heading out on a tug run to Alaska on 4/5 for a few weeks. I'll try to keep up with the blog as I go, but I probably won't have email/web access at sea.
