Do I Need Sea Days for My Entry-Level MMC?

You can get your Entry level MMC with zero, 0, sea days.

What are the requirements?

To get your Entry Level MMC, you will need to meet the requirements on the Coast Guard form:

https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/NMC/pdfs/checklists/mcp_fm_nmc5_56_web.pdf The Coast Guard uses this form as a checklist to make sure that:

• You are a US Citizen or are approved to work in the US.
• You agree to allow the Coast Guard to do a background check
• You are at least 16 years old (under 18 requires a notarized statement of parental/guardian consent)
• You provide a negative drug test for dangerous drugs
