Able Seaman

Shipboard Officer / Personnel / Crew

To whom it may concern,

I am a U.S. Navy veteran and Seamanship Certificate graduate of Clatsop Community College looking for a maritime job which takes advantage of the skills and technical abilities acquired during (5) years of service as a submarine maintenance technician, (3) years of diesel repair and shipyard experience and (2) years as a deckhand/engineer.

An opportunity to advance my maritime career, while contributing to the organization that allows me to showcase my work ethic, reliability and adaptability.  

The knowledge I have acquired while furthering my maritime education and the practical on the job experience I have received from naval and civilian shipboard employment make me a strong candidate for an entry level position.

I have a Valid T.W.I.C. Passport and MMC.
