Post 9/11 GI Bill and Captain (Six Pack) License

[PJHoffnet]

Anyone know of any schools/programs offering Six Pack License course and also accepting post 9/11 GI Bill $$. Courses could be online, or in the Daytona Beach to Stuart range on the East Coast of Florida.

Originally asked four years ago ... no responses back then, asking again to see if there is any new info.

Doesn't it make sense to just call all the maritime schools and ask? Google will find them all for you.

This should help but you need to find your nearest R.E.C. you do need 360 days of approved seatime and 90 days over 3 years.

Go to the National Maritime Centers site. They have handy checklists, a live chat and a Military to Mariner section that you may find helpful. It shouldn't be too hard to acquire a 6 pack on your own and save the GI $$ for something else.

My health is gone and I cannot manage a boat so I am giving away stuff as I find it - -

I have a "Mariners Learning System Captain in a Box" course which includes Six-Pack, Master, Towing, and Sail all in the original box with the plotting goodies and practice chart. I bought it in 2017, for $720. I read it all and passed the tests first try. Great materials.

The full course, in like-new condition, is free to a good home - or even a bad home. All you have to do is pick it up and say hello. I live near New Haven CT and am home all the time.
I could ship it - but not sure of the hassle to wrap and take to USPO as I don't get around easily.

I am happy to help some guy looking to improve his nautical skills, or take the tests and get the red Merchant Marine passport book. PM me with email or SMS number.
