TWIC/TSA
 

Anyone with a ticket done this...
What a PITA.

Went to pick mine up yesterday afternoon in New London.
Went to the office where I enrolled and where the online form told me to go... find a note said they switched offices, across the river in Gales Ferry... 1hr later I found it.

typical %$%$%$%$ed up system.... one guy had been there 2hrs, and another just showed up at 2p for an 1130a appointment b/c he was lost for 2+hrs...

at least I have it for 5 years :nailem:

just got a voice mail that mine was ready for pick up.
I Will deffinitly make an appointment because when I went in the first time with an appointment, I witnessed the 3 hr wait the walk in guys had to pick up theres

I had the appointment, it was just the getting lost part and the $130.00 part that sucked!

$132.50 :wave:
I have an appointment in 2 weeks to pick mine up.
Went for my interview (had an appointment) @ 11:30 about 4 weeks ago, by the time I filled out the questioner it was 12 noon, the 1 guy in the office that was working said "you have to come back in an hr. I go to lunch from 12 - 1" :realmad:
I was told a rumor there is another ticket they are working on implementing @ the cost of $800

So what is a TWIC/TSA thing?

trasnsportation workers id card
all licenced Captains{and port workers, longshoremen, truck drivers, crane operators with port access, etc.}. HAVE to have this card now as part of port security. :bs: lockheed martin is getting 132.50 for these cards
Maybe they let us fish the blitzes real close to the airport piers now with our new id cards. :tooth:

We will fish as close as we want, F*** them !
Just make sure you have your ID :laugha:

It took me 2 trips to enroll and 4 trips to pick mine up. Twice i had appointments. Just call first to make sure the computers are up and running.
