No its called a "Revision."


No, it's more than that. It's a supersede. If they invalidate your Master's
license when it still might have several years before the expiration date
then they are robbing you of your investment and depriving you of your
livelihood. It is clearly fraud and theft of services. While the license you
paid hundreds of dollars and many more hours than that to obtain has an
expiration date of, say 2015, all of a sudden some bureaucrat comes along
and declares it's useless without a TWIC card? That's reneging on a
contract, pure and simple.


Have you ever heard of ex post facto?

No Willie-boy, your license is not useless for what you use it for -
hanging on the wall and boasting about it. You can still show it to
people and make your claims to fame, just like you always have.

And hundreds of dollars and many hours to obtain? It appears that our
intrepid sailor-boy went to school to learn to be a sailor? What a
farce.

Cheers,

We need to be kind to WIlbur et al.
He has a very small boat that will not alow him to do anything but
daysailing.
He is probably over 60 years old
He lacks income most likly never made much money inhis career and now
lives on 900/month SSI.
He is ALWAYS on the internet typing. People with a life dont spend
this much time typing unless your 70+ an tird of cross word puzzels.
He is too old, his boat too small and has too little to cruise. Soooo
