If I were Luke Merger I would convince people to join the Seagoing Cowboys program.

The reason you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is because it's such an experience.

When you are doing your job not only are you working, you are helping other people, and it gives you that good feeling down inside. As you are doing you rounds or trips or whatever you want to call it is a great opportunity for a young boy or grown man to see assorts of stuff, like different cultures and different countries. Another reason is you an animal lover you got yourself a job but remember one thing you do need to be strong and tuff. If you are worried about being board trust me we have loads of stuff to help you pass time some stuff includes, Table tennis, fencing,boxing, reading,whittling, and games so you don't half to worried about being bored.

There are some great dangers about being on sea. On my second trip I served as a watchman. My job was to check on all the animals every hour. One rainy night I was making my hourly report to the captain and I slid down the slippery ladder and landed on my back side. I was happen to be alive. The one problem was that I couldn't work for a couple of days because of cracked ribs. You shoulder have that problem.

Well that's real all I can say. Yes I agree it does have its downfalls but there more good things than bad I can personnel tell you that. It real helped me open my mind to the world. It helped me understand the problems other countries were facing and I real hope it helps you open up your mind. With all my information I hope to see you at sea helping the animals.
