What is a merchant marine?

What do I have to do to become an entry level or AB Merchant Marine?

  • I know that in order to obtain my MMD I have to get TWIC certified, what I want to know is after I get my TWIC can I just get a drug test and physical at the center that I would get the MMD or can/do I have to get these things done at my local doctors office? Also are there any other certifications that I have to get to become a entry level seaman and or AB?

  • Answer:

    AB is not an entry level position. You would start out as an Ordinary Seaman. Look at www.uscg.mil under MMD for all the forms and requirements. You need to pass a DOT drug test, and have a physical at your doctor. He needs to fill out the medical form. Then you submit all your paperwork to the nearest Regional Exam Center (REC) for processing.
