About this episode
On this episode of the VET S.O.S. Veteran Educational Resources Spotlight, Dr. Hira speaks with Edward Lewis, Vice President of Operations at the Maritime Institute and retired U.S. Coast Guard Master Chief.
Edward explains how veterans with maritime backgrounds can move directly into well-paying civilian roles without starting over—thanks to gap training programs, funding options, and strong industry networks. Learn about the 28-day boot camp program that equips veterans to earn their Merchant Mariner Credential, and hear real success stories from graduates working across the globe.
Whether you’re interested in sailing internationally, working in ports, or starting a shore-based maritime career, this episode is packed with practical tips, funding insights, and career strategies for veterans.
