Short answer is you can't, to begin with there's no such thing as "the merchant marines" the phrase you're looking for is merchant marine, no s, secondly the term merchant marine refers to an industry, not a military service or government agency. Saying you want to "enlist in the merchant marine" is the same as saying you want to enlist in the supermarkets, or the airline industry. That being said, if you wish to be employed as a merchant mariner, there are a few routes you can take, one would be to attend one of the academies, or you could attend one of the trade schools, or you could get the necessary documentation and either apply dirrectly to a non-union shipping company, or join one of the maritime unions (most shipboard jobs are union and the jobs are to be had through the various union hiring halls.
