My father was an oil tanker pilot in the US Merchant Marine; typical runs were transporting fuel from the US and Venezuela to Sweden via the North Atlantic Ocean at all times of the year - lots of stories of near death experience in 40 foot seas. My view of this job is "sitting duck" waiting for submarine torpedo attack.
I once took him sailing on Lake Michigan on a Hobie 16 in borderline small craft advisory weather - he thought that it was "amusing" compared to what he had gone through during WWII.
(By the way, the US Merchant Marine is not treated as one of the "armed services" with regards to veterans benefits.)
