I believe that I will seek either a Marine Transportation, or a Logistics Degree, although the school only offers a few degree programs (
Marine Transportation,
Maritime Operations and Technology,
Logistics and Intermodal Transportation,
Marine Engineering,
Marine Engineering Systems,
Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management)
"Between 1874 and 1936, diverse Federal legislation supported maritime training through schoolships, internships at sea and other methods. A disastrous fire in 1934 aboard the passenger ship MORRO CASTLE, in which 134 lives were lost, convinced the U.S. Congress that direct Federal involvement in efficient and standardized training was needed."
This off of the academy website. And yes, it will be a little ironic that I frequent subsim (although, that whole "know your enemy thing"...
).
They commision into all 5 branches of service, so I am not limited to civillian merchant shipping. So if it "floats my boat" at the end of school, 'Dolphins' could be a very real deal,
Thanks
