As a Sea Cadet in 2001 I did a 2 week cruise aboard the training vessel MANATRA III working out of DuSable Harbor at the mouth of the Chicago River. It was very cool. I'm an officer in the Sea Cadet Corps now and I hope I can staff a cruise next year!

6 years USN tin-can sonarman hunting the great steel whales. Actually found 7 of them.
1972-78. In the 80's I was a jibman on a Cal 35 sloop sailing in the SF bay out of the Vallejo yacht club.

My ships were USS Schofield DEG-3 and USS Elmer Montgomery FF-1082.

I haven't myself, but my Son sailed with the merchant marine for a while. He really liked it, and made excellent money. The stories of his umm... adventures were quite entertaining too. Then he came home to visit and an old girlfirend called him up. All of a sudden, he hated the merchant marine for some reason and stayed here.
