Able Bodied Seamen wanted!

from ConocoPhillips careers:

'The Able Bodied Seaman (A.B.) may be responsible for:

Docking/undocking procedures (handling lines, securing ship, etc.) and assisting with taking and discharging of cargo.
Standing watch, either as lookout or on the bridge steering the vessel.
Performing deck related maintenance duties under supervision of the Boatswain.
Working aloft in certain situations
Working two 4 hour watches per 24 hour period with overtime occurring routinely. The A.B. can work no more than 15 hours per day, and cannot work more than 36 hours in any 72 hour period.

'All unlicensed employees earn paid leave on the basis of twenty-three (23) days paid leave for every thirty (30) days of sea service. Normal tours are seventy-five (75) onboard and fifty-seven (57) days of paid leave


Thought about it, but I would be depressed being on a ship for a month at a time and what would I do when I had time off? It still seems very manly though.
