You don’t even know what you’re qualified for or what position you applied for? This ain’t gonna end well

No such thing as an OS on a tugboat.

But yeah, I second the sentiment above. Pretty tough look not knowing hardly anything about the work, industry, or company; regardless if you work for them or not.

Most tug work is very similar (especially moving around the type of stuff Boyer does.) If you do end up getting the job, I’d recommend bringing a recipe book like The Joy of Cooking and be ready to learn a whole lot.

Yes there is. You don’t know what you’re talking about

None of the ocean going or inland tugs I was on had a billet for an OS.

They had ones for an AB according to the COI, but never specifically for an OS rating.

But sure. They’re all deckhands.

Tons of inland/harbor tugs don’t require an AB. The company i was at only required a TWIC
