jobs for older seamen???

[boatbum]

i'm 60 years old. don't look it, don't feel it, don't act it. i know it seems a little late to be trying to become a seaman and work on tugs, but i need a career change, love being on the water and already live an alternative lifestyle.

wondering if my age is going to be a problem with getting documentation, and then actually getting into the union and getting hired???

Your age won't be a problem. Physical condition and the notes your doc puts on the form are the deal makers now.
We have plenty of AB's and tankermen who are 60. Average age of our crews is mid-40's. Check the union newsletter. There are plenty of older seamen out here.

Stay in good shape and press on.
