    Hi Everyone,
    I’m a Naval Veteran (20 years service) transitioning into the superyacht industry at 45.

    I am starting my AEC1 & AEC2 shortly and would value any advice from current Chiefs on the most effective pathway for a mature entrant. Specifically:

    How is naval sea-time generally viewed for MCA Small Vessel (SV) exemptions?

    Which technical "extras" (AV/IT, Refrigeration, etc.) should I prioritize to be an asset in a yacht engine room?

    Thanks in advance for any insights.
