Marine Interested in Tallships Career

[u/_Purrserker_]

Current active US Marine and I get out in roughly 6 months. Im not 100% on my goals for when I get out, but Maritime is definitely a huge interest of mine and tallships has been something I have always had a passion for. From painting my own miniatures and making a ship in a bottle, to reading, to even going out and stepping foot on some (I want to do some volunteering on the Virginia Schooner once Im out). Im from VA and would like to stay in that area if possible, but after discovering that this is a possible career choice Id love to learn more and do all I can to pursue it. If anyone could give me guidance or know of anywhere in VA I could go I would greatly appreciate it.

Not a lot of breadth to job options, but you could go into the normal merchant marine to work on modern ships too.
