Try asking a Navy recruiter. My ex-sailor husband just explained to me the other day the relationship between the Merchant Marines and the Navy, and unfortunately I can't quote it to you, but the Navy people should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Maybe try something like vetfriends.com - my hubby is ex-navy and he likes those kinds of sites. Thanks for serving!

Lot of Marine sites. Look up the Unit.\n\nIn 1969 the members of the unit probably changed daily!\n\nhttp://www.26thmarines.org/\n\nI don't think you will find it unless you went to archives or rosters during the war but good luck!

The Merchant Marine was granted Veteran Status in the 90's. You should be able to get the info you need at www.VA.gov or go to www.firstgov.com and use the link to the VA. \n\nYou also can go to most Veteran orgs. like the American Legion, VFW, DAV, Vietnam Veterans of America and others and talk with the Counselors. The are trained in Veteran Benifits and can help you.

There are search and rescue operations, leaders of navy seals and underwater demolitions, there are tons of officer positions in the navy for qualified rescue personnel.  Its all about how much training you are willing to ut into your career.  Have you thought about specialized sub rescue that is operating and commanding deep sea rescue vehicles which might have saved sailors on the kursk?  I am a licensed respiratory therapist and paramedic from the army back from desert storm, I don't practice anymore but I still use my skills and I'll never forget my war time experiences, don't worry about getting your hands dirty, right now we need men like you to save lives.  The Navy has good benefits and good training. I just moved from a house right next to sub-base Bangor.  Everyone was a submariner or on an aircraft carrier out of Bremerton.  Look into it and join up.  The service years were the best years of my life.

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

Check out damage controlmen, they do alot of that stuff on a ship.  There is alot of different jobs in the Navy.  The Navy website has all the jobs listed and a short job description.  You can always talk to a recruiter to find out more.  If you do go talk to a recruiter bring someone along who can help you out also.  It doesnt always happen but sometimes recruiters can be a bit much to handle.  The website is the best choice for a quick job description with no pressure.

Being a Navy man I don't know all the rules for Merchant Marines (MM).  I do belive the only time MM get military/Gov't type benefits is when they are pulled into a war.  Last time I know that happened was WWII.  Not to say your husband may not have something coming to him.  I would still check through MM channels as well as American Legion and VFW.  Not sure if I helped you much.  Best of luck

You should contact the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) and I think you will get their contact information; go to www.navy.mil and find a link to BUPERS.
