I have completed everything on my long list of hire paperwork and am currently on Active Hold. Everyone tells me that it is best to just live your life as I was and not worry or sit around and wait for a sail-out date, this however seems almost IMPOSSIBLE while I am very excited to get on the ship and start the adventure of a lifetime, at the same times I don't want what I currently have to end. It is late and I will expand more on this tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing good and having a great week. This weekend I turn the big 19 so close to not being a teen anymore!!!

UPDATE
Hello blog readers,
Sorry it has been such a long time since I have updated it has been a very busy week as I was working extended schedules at work since we are on spring break schedule. Not much has happened as far as progress....... okay i say not much but truthfully a lot has happened.... On 3/9/2012 my MMC application was submitted on my behalf by NCL. This process usually is a 8-10 week process from the time it is submitted to USCG, goes through review of my Medical,Criminal,Personal and everything from the time that I was born to current day. As of 12:38 p.m. on March 16th,2012 my MMC credentials are currently in USPS First Class somewhere in the U.S. on its way to my house. I will be traveling down to Corpus Christi on Wednesday the 21st in order to pick up my TWIC card and my MMC should be in my mailbox any day now. As soon as this arrives I will take a copy of it and fax it to my recruiter who will in return give me either my sail date or put me on the wait list. At this point in time everything is becoming more and more real and the fact that soon I will be making Hawaii my home for 5 months at a time and in between contracts will be touring the world. I know at this point in time my blog seems very repetitive so please bare with me as the closer to sail out and once on board the blog should be full of great stories. I will also be sharing my stories of my travels during my breaks so once this all get rolling it should be great. At this point in time I am looking for questions from my readers,, it can be about anything... Wanting more info about one of my entries, wanting to know more on how I got to this point, questions about the cruise industry from a cruisers view, what I am expecting, what I know about my job at this point. If I don't know the answers I will try and find them for you.

Not A Criminal
As of 3/3 my TWIC card was approved and has been sent to the production plant to be made and hen will be sent back to Corpus Christi where I will go back and pick it up. You will probably see that I have not been posting daily or nearly as frequent as I was at first but that is for a few reasons, I have been trying to spend extra time with friends and family since I will be away for months at a time, this is a stage in the hiring process where there are long wait periods before I move onto the next steps however on the same note we are also at a point where besides the wait period there is not much left to do. Once my TWIC arrives, Medical Clears, and my MMC arrives then one of tow things will happen, I will receive a sail out date if there is any open spots for my position or I will be placed on active hold and the long wait will begin until I sail out. This has been one of the best experiences in my life and something I have dreamed of for years. It has really made me "grow up" and take responsibility in all my daily work.

TWIC
Hello Readers,
This post won't be too long as I have to get up in 7 hours and make a 3.5 hour drive home and be at work by 2 so tomorrow will make for a long day and cranky Tyler but I would trade anything for what I have going in my life. Yesterday around midday I drove to San Antonio and spent the night with my mother, we then woke up and drove down to Corpus Christi today to complete my application and registration for my TWIC card. This is a card required in order to have un escorted assess to secure areas. Now let me remind you the trip from San Antonio to Corpus took around 2 + hours, my TWIC appointment... a whopping 10mins.... so this trip seemed pointless, but let me make it even clearer,,, I must travel down there again to pick up and activate my card which will take another 10 min appointment.... but the journeys make it 100% worth it. Well not much else happened this past week or so or since my last post. Well guess it is time for me to get off this computer,pintrest, and Facebook and hit the sack before my long drive tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day!!!!
