Good pay but not enough time off - Boatswain Mate Military Sealift Command Employee Review

Horrible on duty/off duty rotation. Even if you are overdue for 7 months past your 4 months due date, your detailer will force you to report back into the waiting pool after only 1 month of vacation. The fleet is too undermanned which caused the remaining ones to be stuck overdue on the ships longer. Too many CIVMARS quit due to the pandemic which caused “gangway up” orders on many MSC ships. Most of the marine placement specialists are 9th grade dropouts doing jobs they are nowhere qualified to do.
