1. This message solicits candidates and outlines the application
process for those enlisted members interested in the Enlisted Marine
Inspector Training Program (EMITP), a program designed to train
enlisted participants to become fully qualified Marine
Inspectors. This program offers outstanding professional development
and career broadening opportunities for E6s and E7s who have the
desire and aptitude to train in the challenging and rewarding field
of Marine Inspections. EMITP selectees will remain enlisted for up to
four years in order to complete their training in Apprentice Marine
Inspector billets. However, selectees will have the opportunity to
apply for appointment to Chief Warrant Officer before the mark of
their four-year apprenticeship. Participants of EMITP will be the
sole accession source for selection to the Prevention Marine Safety
Warrant Officer Specialties.
2. Prevention Marine Safety Warrant Officers are divided into two
specialties; Marine Safety Specialty Deck (MSSD) and Marine Safety
Specialty Engineer (MSSE). All Marine Safety Warrant Officers
perform regulatory oversight of complex federal laws, regulations,
and international treaties. These activities are performed
on domestic and foreign small passenger vessels, deep draft
freight/tank vessels, mobile offshore drilling units, offshore supply
vessels and oil and chemical/gas barges. In the performance of these
duties, they interface with a broad array of private, public and
international members at all levels of the maritime industry.
3. The eligible feeder ratings for MSSD are Marine Science
Technicians (MST), Boatswain’s Mate (BM), and Aviation Survival
Technicians (AST). The MSSE Specialty is fed by the Machinery
Technician (MK), Damage Controlman (DC), and Electrician’s Mate (EM).
