The union has learned that the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center (NMC) reportedly is denying some mariners who have submitted ROS time for renewal of Basic Training (BT). For the purpose of the recency requirement, ROS seatime counts day for day for renewal of BT, Advance Fire Fighting, Personal Survival Craft (PSC), and Fast Rescue Boat (FRB).
If you have received a denial letter for this issue, you should immediately email [email protected] with the subject line “elevate to supervisor” and request reconsideration of ROS seatime not being counted day for day.
Both the union and our affiliated school in Piney Point are in contact with NMC personnel regarding this situation.
