Thanks. It remains at 25 GT.
New Orleans it was. S.Simon "Jeff Morris" wrote in message ... Congratulations. I guess nobody in the office (you use New Orleans?) reads this group! BTW, did they raise your tonnage limit? For the 50+ ton licenses, they usually bump it up every renewal. -jeff |

This is to notify Misters Shen44, otnmbrd, Jeff Morris, Rick, Joe, Schoonertrash, Fulmor and any other of my fellow Masters who might be reading this announcement that I am in possession of my renewed U.S. Merchant Marine Officer license issued on 11 December, 2003. Allow me to offer my congratulations! How does your USCG Masters licence compare with the(Internationally renowned) RYA Yachtmaster qualification? Do I have to look *up* to you, or should I offer words of encouragement? Regards Donal -- |

Thank you. I think the U.S.C.G licenses rely more on 'book' knowledge and less on a practical exam as there is no practical exam at all out on a boat. I would say the U.S.C.G. license is more geared towards motor vessels and a master's responsibility in regards to that. Safety of life at sea is a very high priority. Being a Merchant Marine Officer is not like being a sailing yachtsman at all. While a sailing yachtsman is generally a better seaman by virtue if his intimacy with the sea, the Merchant Marine Officer is better versed in the rules and regulations concerning running a commercial ship and carrying passengers for hire.

From: "Simple Simon" Neal, don't try to talk about Merchant Marine Officers and licenses. You aren't one, don't hold one, never have and never will, no matter what some piece of paper says ....i.e., it's a subject, beyond your experience and comprehension. Shen Thank you.

From: "Simple Simon" Date: 12/22/2003 13:42 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. Hear ye, all my fellow USCG licensed Masters. Sorry Neal, you're just a licensed boat operator. The wording on the license is USCG BS, cause they don't know no better....and before you try it...what could I possibly be jealous of..... This is to notify Misters Shen44, otnmbrd, Jeff Morris, Rick, Joe, Schoonertrash, Fulmor and any other of my fellow Masters who might be reading this announcement that I am in possession of my renewed U.S. Merchant Marine Officer license issued on 11 December, 2003. I'm not a "fellow Master". You're a boat operator, period. For those who disrespect and disbelieve the number on the document is 1045941. Expiration date is Dec. 11, 2008. I wish to remind all those who claimed it would take months to renew my license and possibly longer, I wish to further remind those who claimed I was incapable of submitting all paperwork in order and I wish to remind all those who claimed the Coast Guard was slow and inefficient that they were wrong as usual. Not really, we forgot you were only dealing with a simple near coastal operators license which requires no recertifications and minimal paperwork ...... you should have had it in 5 days, especially since you don't possess an MMD which you also needed to renew. The Coast Guard does a fine job and treats with professional courtesy and respect those who treat them the same. That may be, but they have no business issuing licenses .... they're not qualified, with the exception, possibly, of your category license. Please note that it took less than a month between the time I submitted my paperwork until I received the renewed license document. This is probably due, in part, because I treated the Officer in Charge of Marine Inspection with courtesy and respect by submitting my papers with everything in order and no nits to pick. I made his job even easier by living an exemplary life where any background checks revealed a model citizen. You never talked with the OCMI, just one of his/her underlings. Merry Christmas to one and all from: Capt. Neal Master of Motor Vessels of no more than 25 GT, Near Coastal Operator Uninspected Passenger Vessels of no more than 6 passengers You can't even get that right, so I corrected it for you. Shen |

It is your sort who bring ridicule to the American licensing system. You are not now nor will you ever reach the standards of training and demonstrate the competence required of an officer of the Merchant Marine. You are a fraud and a wannabe. Your boat is a toy, a broken toy at that, and your only command is a keyboard. Rick |

Poor Rick demonstrates once again that he is a bitter, broken and petty man. One has to wonder just what his problem is. Maybe a severe case of erectile dysfunction.
