Summary: You've entered into Squid Game to help pay off some debts, not expecting your best friend, Daeho to be there. You both will do anything to proect each other, no matter the cost.

Warnings: Typical squid game stuff.

Author's Note: This is my first time writing Dae-ho. If you'd like to be tagged in future fics of his, please let me know.

Life has been hard lately, which is why when you’d been presented a chance at fixing at least one of those things, you’d jumped at the chance. You however, hadn’t been expecting this to be a game of death. You’d heard player 456’s cries to listen to him at the start of the game, but like everyone else you had ignored him. That was until that girl moved during red light, the chaos that had ensued after that had you praying to gods you didn’t believe in to keep yourself safe. You’d been in Squid Game for a few hours now and already had the blood of your competition splattered over you. You were definitely in over your head and needed to get out. 

Thankfully, the pink suits had announced a vote and you prayed everyone would agree to send you home. You’d been standing for what felt like hours waiting for your number to be called, listening to play 456 plead with everyone to leave the games. He’d been here before so you were definitely going to take his advice. Once your number was called you made your way quickly to the front, voting to go home. You may have needed money, but you’d find another way. You weren’t going to die over some debt.

As you were putting your x badge on your jacket your eyes caught sight of a familiar, gorgeous face and your breath caught in your throat. No. He couldn’t be here. Why was he here? Daeho’s eyes met yours and his brows crinkled in confusion. You shook your head and made your way to your spot. There were too many people around to talk comfortably yet and you weren’t exactly sure it was safe to announce that you knew someone else in the games. That mother and son duo seemed to be the only exception to that rule, and you weren’t about to chance it. After play 001 voted, the pink soldiers announced that there would be another game in the morning, panic rising in your body.

Date of Training: May 28 - June 9, 2018 Location: Global Maritime Training Center, Valenzuela City, Metro Manila (1 day) and LPU Maritime Training Center, Batangas City, Batangas (12 days)

The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 

SOLAS is an international maritime treaty which sets minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment, and operation of merchant ships. The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with at least these standards.

SOLAS is a convention and contains training that can be used as our basic knowledge in safety at Sea. Basic Safety Training is included. Basic Safety Training or BST is required before you can land a job as a seafarer. Without this training, you are not allowed to sign a contract for a job in a vessel. Basic Safety Training or BST is the starting point for persons seeking employment in the maritime industry. This training is intended to ensure that seafarers are aware of the hazards of working on a vessel and can respond appropriately in an emergency.

During the Basic Training, we got 4 modules including Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF), Personal Survival Techniques (PST), Elementary First Aid (EFA) and Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR). We also got 3 additional IMO Model Courses: International Safety Management (ISM code), Ship Security Awareness Training and Seafarers with Designated Security Duties (SSAT-SDSD) and Crowd Management.

After completing this training, we are now able to process and apply for Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book or Seaman’s Book (SIRB) at nearest MARINA branches nationwide.

As a Cruise Line Operations in Culinary Arts student, it’s indeed appreciated by having a training like this. It’s not just about how to prevent accidents but also to learn the basic safety of a vessel especially in a Passenger Ship like in Cruise Line Industry. Starting from using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), helping passengers in case of emergency, when there is a disaster and also as an awareness of every student.

This training will help us to be competent and well trained in our near future. It will give us preparation in the near challenging career in the global shipping and cruising industry. To become a world-class and highly competent seafarer.
