Remember that both your total sea time and your RECENT sea time are important numbers (go the USCG web site, Sea School or Grosetti licensing consultant web sites for details). As far as how military sea time is counted, I'm not able to give you a definite answer. I know a guy who served on subs for many years and none of his time was eligible for some obscure reason. You need to call one of the schools (Chapmans, Sea School, Mariners School etc.) or get a professional engaged for that. Just move quickly as the clock is ticking on your most recent time. Hope this didn't confuse things more! Steve.
