Happy Holidays to you Cap'n. Otn.

Coming from someone who probably just scraped by
your little rant doesn't have much meaning. People who
barely scrape by generally have the attitude you
demonstrated above.

BG I realize you are unable to comprehend this, but you don't get
where I am in the Maritime Industry, by just "scraping by".


"Oh, it doesn't matter that I couldn't answer
the questions right, they were stupid anyway,"
is the purview of the lame and the ignorant.
It is a cop-out response coming from the near-
failures whom everyone but themselves realizes
are borderline qualified.

And, how, pray tell, did you come to the conclusion, that that may have
applied to me?

I've come to the conclusion that the real reason
I can get no honest answers what the other so-called
captain's test scores are is because they are ashamed to
admit I beat them by a mile. (Being beaten in anything
by someone whom you claim is far inferior must be
a bitter pill to swallow, indeed, and much, much worse
when he beats you in an area you call your profession.)

The proof is in the "pudding". You've proved that although you may have
passed the test well, you are basically an amateur and/or incompetent,
in reality.

Once again, Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring you some
experience in, and knowledge of, the field in which you profess so much,
yet lack, so much understanding and knowledge of.
