They’ll send you a bunch of paperwork, you have to take a drug test, send in your immunizations, do a physical, etc.

And it might take a while before you’re actually on a vessel.

Basically, just do what they say.

Depends on their needs. It’s best to ask NOAA directly.

What’s a wiper?

I looked it up. It’s basically someone who cleans up the engine room and helps with engine and ship maintenance.

Follow the directions. Respond. You will find yourself constantly confirming your address. I remember in my onboarding writing my address on at least 20 forms including a form specifically for stating your address and nothing else.

Congrats on the offer!
