This is the Pride of America, the vessel on which I will make my first of who knows many voyages with Norwegian Cruise Line America, or NCLA. It will also be the largest ship that I've ever lived and worked on, let alone even been on. As we speak, I am currently back and forth with my recruitment officer Xiomara about my medical. The reason for this is that I had already gotten my TWIC and was well into the process of obtaining my Merchant Mariners Document, or MMC whenever I first spoke with the people from NCLA. Sooo...where I'm @ now is trying to find out if the medical exam that I just took for NCLA will be sufficient enough for the National Maritime Center, or NMC - and if it is, how do I get it from one place to the other in the alotted time, considering there can't be any copies. I had already taken one physical for my MMC application, but it didn't contain enough information for all of the ratings I had requested (blood work). Everything will work out fine, though - I'ts just a matter of time. I know this because I have already been cleared security-wise by the United States Coast Gaurd, or USCG and have accepted the offer from NCLA and am well into the hiring process...the ball is rolling and things are looking great! And aside form the technical stuff...this is the way it has to be. There is nothing else. This is it. Yes sir...I plan to take this opportunity for a fresh start and new beginning and run with it. And run with it I will...count on that.
