Charter Boat Captains,  Click> TWIC <Click for the current information regarding the Transportation Workers Identification Card that the Department of Homeland Security is now requiring nationwide.  You must now be compliant by April 15th 2009.  The link at the beginning of this paragraph has a section for pre-enrolling.  Basically, you'll need to create a username and password, enter some of your personal information, schedule an appointment at a near-by TWIC office using an online calendar (closest office along the crystal coast is on the Atlantic Beach Causeway).   Make sure you print out your appointment confirmation page.  The appointment takes about 15 min.'s   If everything checks out ok, you'll be contacted via email or phone that you were approved and to come back to the same location to pick up your card.... I would suggest going back onto the website when you are informed you card is ready... and schedule a pick up appointment.  You cannot call the office to schedule the appointments..... and if there is no appointment schedule you will be at the end of the line behind those with scheduled appointments.  Good Luck!
