hey destroyer which batch are u? dme? ec?

just noticed this thread xD

i was just graduated from alam last year. taking nautical studies.

for sure misc sponsored.

i quit matrix oso last time. have to pay back rm 1k, their allowance i mean. i was being there for 2 weeks only.

im 22 this year, and earning 3250 monthly basis. up to 7k with total allowances.

hope that figures can attract more students to join us ;p

fyi, most of my frens same age as me are still struggling to complete their studies with no jobs confirmation.

ho so ure a newbie. not much diff between aet and misc nowadays.

good luck with ur life at college now xD

strive for lng vessel. welcome onboard. =)

aviation is cool oso dude, with lotsa of stewardess. and their studies is damn easy. the syllabus just more or less like us. and working as a pilot is oso easy mannn, i have lotsa friends all of them said that. everything is controlled by the control tower. they just have to take off and landing. but they are carrying live stock. hehe.

but from what i heard around, aviation and marine cant make big bucksss as long as u are working with malaysian company. but what to do, they feed us with good training.

hurm so u are now a cadet pilot? u are under mas or what? how much a fresh grad can earn? u graduated as first officer eh? i dunno how their ranks. hehe.

yea in marine we earn more than marine engineer. but no big different.

how much ur 4 stripes eg captain can earn a month?

oh ok ok for all that info. i thought u are a cadet pilot. sorry dude. hehe. i have some frens also from MIAT.

yeah destroyer, heard that oso for dynamic position. basically they are learning how to stabilize the oil platforms etc at sea. yes they are making big bucks. im not sure whether they open for marine engineer or not. most of the ppl taking that course is self sponsored. about a few person only for every course. have no idea actually. just paying attention to get my 1st class first and finished the contract xD

hehe u want to work with the machines or u want to navigate a ship? our ships are about 300 metres long average. hehe. navigating is much more easier, but u have to take a lot of responsibilities.

u can still sail no matter how old are you. no such things as retirement in our jobs prospect. as long as u are fit, there u go. but if u want to start fresh n follow their sponsorship program, there are certain age requirements.

if u still insist, i recommend u to find other shipping company to get u sponsored.

i think there no temporary jobs. because before sail u have to complete urself with much much requirements. to make urself competence. unless u want to go onboard cruise ship as passenger. =)

yeah sure best way is to start after spm. usually they will open their sponsorship program in the paper. they will sponsor whole 3 years diploma program and u work with them straight away.

during my time cadetship only earn 450 myr per month.

actually basic pay for fresh grad is 3250. + allowances around 6.7. its for 6 month probation period. (junior 3rd officer)

after 6 months ( promoted to 3rd officer) the basic is 3900. plus allowances i dunno.

another 6 months to one year ++, if got promoted to 2nd officer, earn > 5 digits oready.

normally those with mariners background. because we malaysian doesnt exposed well with this job.

most want to further into uni. for me, im so grateful for not going into local uni. i think i made the right choice.

at alam oso got some foreigners. i mean lots of them. arabiannnnn, indiannnn..

as alam now are becoming a world class maritime academy. all are up to dates i can say. from classroom to their simulators.

onboard ship u can work with british ppl, some japanese, filipinos.

u can take it 3 years to complete the courses.

when off duty u take ur rest la, watching movie, playing games, karaoke, swimming, soccer, or maybe gym. or just eat and eat and ear lol.

every few weeks u will arrive ports then u can go ashore la for a few hours. depends on which port are u going, actually who charters ur ship.

if u arrive early than the estimated time, then u probably will go for anchoring. that time oso can jalan2 ashore, service boat will picks u up.

im dns 07. im signing on next week. see u guys. =)

wuah this topic still up and running eh? heheh.

just signed off from ss puteri nilam. fresh grad. 3 mths holiday.

brought home >35k rm

tempted? ;p

nowadays we have lotsa cadets i dunno where they will put them.

experience? nothing much. 4 to 6 months away from ur family, but nvmnd still got phone coverage what hehe. works ok, unless u have critical equipment problem then we have to work extra. other than that just live ur life, sight seeing other countries, etc.

phone bills under ur own expenses la bro, only for business purposes u can use the satellite phone.

internet only for email purpose. no surfing. normally we bring our own broadband whenever we have phone coverage.

nothing much to do la bro during free times, watching movies, ps3, swimming, futsal.

im a fresh grad. my basic 3250. total 6650. this is for ojt (on job training). after 6 months upon satisfactory performance, ur basic will be 3900, total 7++

for my company, they will sponsor until ur master ticket. i mean until ur 1st class COC.

alam in terengganu quite sucks maybe. never been there. i was from alam melaka. when u are juniors life will be a misery take it as a challenge u jokers. when u become a senior then one by one the privileges will come. if u are a momma's boy u are not welcome onboard. we dont need such baby bois to navigate our 700mil usd merchant ship all over the world.

Added on October 14, 2009, 3:23 pmu can apply for engineering officer onboard. visit misc.com.my for further details. have few frens with same qualification as ya. but u must be willing to leave ur family for about 4 to 6 months lol. starting salary about rm 6.5k i think.

lol yea ya right not for everyone. u use that toilet, u clean it. but still, if u already a senior, do u still want to do all that stuffs? but after u're onboard even ur bed n toilet will be cleaned by the steward. so no big deal. at least we learnt the hard way, but maybe for a short time. 2 sem ony for juniors. lols.

it doesn't really matter. just apply first. i think the most important thing during the interview they look for ur personality, the way u talk, ur confidence lvl etc. cos we're the one to be the leader. after that then they'll go thru ur academic things.

just went for misc junior officer's forum last week. nx year they are taking only 50 cadets. dunno what about other sponsors.

which batch are u? yes u have to worry. currently there are about 300 excessive junior officers. (junior officers up to 2nd mates and cargo engineers) n still u have to be grateful even MAS now stop taking any more cadets.

everyone knows how the industry looks like now due to the economic downturn. even 2010 cant promise any improvement. so just be patient. as long as u can place urself in the system, i think u can still survive.
