<p>deck majors must have a total of least 360 days sea service. 30 days of sea service equivalency is granted for successful completion of the Bridge Watchkeeping course (bridge resource management) and 30 days is credited for watchstanding on the Kings Pointer.
My son spent 104 days on 3 ships his first sailing period and 196 on 4 ships his second sailing period for a total of 300 actual sailing days. I’m not exactly sure about the engineers sea service requirements, but it’s probably similar in time to what the deckies need.</p>
