Skils
Seafaring.
I left MSC because their inefficiency was cause for me to be kept away from my family for longer than necessary. I want to work for an outfit that can have me relieved close to the date indicated on my orders and not (repeatedly) pull me from leave before I am due to go back to work. I am a "team player" and I am willing to go back to work early and remain aboard longer when an "emergency" arises.
