There are job placement companies all along the gulf coast that will place you for a large fee, I don't recommend using such services. Most people are brought on board by friends or relatives. There are also "schools" that will train you as an AB, QMED or cook, they will also help with obtaining the required documents such as a TWIC or the MMD. You can also go to the government websites and download the forms you will need. Be prepared for an extensive background check, not only will the coast guard background you but also the TSA. http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/twi..._faqs.shtm this is the website for the TWIC card or you can google twic.com, it's all the same. http://www.uscg.mil/nmc/ here is the website for the coast guard, all the information is here to obtain your MMD.
