there are’nt many, but more than there used to be. I reckon 8 or 9% of the total cadets in our year were femaleand i think this trend will continue. Hope this helps

Are many women training to be a deck officer?

I think I’ll try get this job, for the 2 months off the adventure and because it looks cool, is it an easy job to get into? Like did you have to do college and that, and was there openings in it?

@Actinia1 Hello Angie. Thanks for the nice comments I finished working on the Storrington in April 2010. I miss the ship at times. Nowadays i work on platform supply ships. My current ship, MV Toisa Coral, is here amongst my latest films

@WackyZacky1000 If you want to see some of the countries you’ll get to visit then have a look at my other films. The films from St.Petersburg in Russia, Vancouver in Canada, Norway, Masan in South Korea, Casablanca in Morocco; were filmed on my time ashore
