You said that" The term "Master Mariner" is an industry term, not a
USCG term".
Are you calling the Merchant Marines an industrial company ?
No. I'm calling it an industry, like carpentry, medical, airline,
etc..
Then it's a trade, not an industry. I see it more as a branch of the
service myself.
Your arguing the use of a term for no reason. Industry/trade, call it what you
want.
It is NOT however, a branch of the service.
And your still full of ****. You can still get an " Operators "
licences. I have a 100 ton Ocean operators before I sat for my
Masters.
So did a lot of people, so what?
You said Operator was an Old tern used before Masters, your wrong, you
can still set for an ocean operator dufass.
And your point is, when discussing the term Master Mariner? I haven't seen the
term used too frequently as of late. If it is, big deal, so what.
BULL****. The USMM/USCG has no title of Master Mariner. And they have
never had that title. Where are you getting your information? Yacht
Club.
I'll try one last time.
The USCG has no say in what or who is a Master Mariner. They just issue
licenses.
If you don't think the USMM uses the term "Master Mariner" then there's a good
chance you are not in the USMM.
Since you don't believe me, feel free to find some unlimited Master and ask
him/her about the term.
If you think the term Master as it applies to a ship or the license
has
something to do with a college degree, you're sadly misinformed.
No ****, but the time required is similar. Some people can hop on a
300 ton boat and master the vessel and crew, but that has nothing to do
with getting a Master licences or the made up title of Master Mariner.
The time required can, and usually is, much greater. The fact the you have the
time in at sea to get an unlimited Master license and get it, says that you've
spent a good deal of time and training on ships.
BUT, it doesn't mean you will ever sail in that capacity and most won't. The
Term Master Mariner is reserved for those that have.
I suspect you wonder the docks dressed in a white sailor suit completed
with a cap full of scrambled eggs and a little anchor on your lapel
right?.
Nope I prefer jeans.
Again it's a generic lubbery term used by lubbers in awe.
Well, since you couldn't use it anyway to describe yourself, you can call it
whatever you like.
Half true. I couldn't care less as to what the USCG thinks of the
term Master
Mariner.
They do not think about it, get it thru your numb skull... it is a made
up title used by wannabee's like YOU!

Do yourself a favor, Joe, before you make a bigger ass of yourself than you
have. Go find some unlimited Masters who've sailed deepsea and ask them about
the term.
