Thanks, SAM, this is great. My son graduated from high school last year and told us about a presentation that he and many others in his class attended. There were recruiting officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Merchant Marines describing the various opportunities. He said the best speaker was the officer from the Merchant Marines. The civilian employment opportunities after serving in Merchant are apparently VERY good. Just a little bit of trivia there...

Thanks for the info xJones.

The wartime service of the Merchant Marines is overlooked even more than that of the Coast Guard.
