The best way to attain your merchant marine officer license is by means of a maritime academy. If you are in the US there are various maritime academies/universities to apply to. There are 5 state schools and 1 government school. The state schools are New York maritime college, Mass maritime, Texas A&M, California maritime, and Maine maritime. Then there is the US Merchant Marine academy. All academies a very good and share the same goal in producing licensed merchant marine officer, some with obtions of acepting a reserve commission in navy or marine corps.

Imagine how it feels when some snotty nosed Ensign just out of the USCG Academy starts instructing a cruise ship Master with 45 years seatime of which 25 was in command. Nearly strangled the little twerp, fortunately a more senior officer came and apoligized. Good Watch eed.

We all sail on the same oceans, but apprently have different standards. Part of the reason the USCG credability among professional mariners continues to drop is USCG officers and petty officers are trained to sub-standard condtions. Then they are the agency charged to carry out regulations over those held to a higher standard, but yet fail to meet the same standard.
