I want to second what KPMarineopsdad has posted. We just got our first Skype from our son in Turkey! This is his first sea year and he is in love with everything about it! His friends are cheering him on from afar and I can tell they are fairly envious of his opportunity! He will sail through the Mediterranean, the Straights of Gibraltar, to Galveston, TX, back to Africa and, possibly, to Singapore shortly afteraward. He gets port time that lasts for 3-5 days every stop and began by exploring Israel! And along with all these great adventures, he gets paid for work that he finds interesting and fulfilling! All before he has turned 21 years of age! The temporary pain payment is by far worth the experiences yet to come in the future!
