Question by A Khan: Is it possible to join NAVY/MERCHANT NAVY in India,KSA,UAE,USA etc.?
I have completed my Computer Engg. degree a year back and then worked as a Sales and Marketing Exec.
But I want to be in the Navy/Merchant Navy, as I like this adventurous job which involves travelling too.I love the dark blue oceans.
Please advice on how to join the on-board ship job in KSA/India/UAE/USA or any European country.
Presently I am in Saudi Arabia and I guess its impossible to fulfill my dream here,as I am seeing the condition here.

To be in the Navy, you usually need to be a citizen or resident of the nation involved; but ask them, as each nation may have specific exceptions.
As far as I know the merchant marine has somewhat less restrictive rules; and commercial shipping virtually none, as to what nationality can serve. Again, however, you should ask them because specific nations / companies probably have different rules. Good luck!
