Besides I still have a top secret security clearance at

That, and $1.50, will get you a cuppa coffee ...... in some places.

We shall see. If and when they do a background security check
they'll see that nice "TOP SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE"
on my papers and be impressed enough to cut me some slack
if necessary but it won't be necessary because all my papers
are in order.

I'll post an update in two or three weeks here when I receive
my new license. The old one expires on the 25th of this month
so they'll expedite it so as not to put me out of work. They
won't wish to cause any undue hardship to a respected Master.

ROFLMAO
Your "Top Secret Clearance" will get you zero slack .... you too stupid
to realize that?
As for the time element to receive a new license, if you get it in two
to three weeks, I'll be surprised, especially since you are not and have
never, worked on it........besides.....they could care less if you lose
work, if you've waited too long to renew.
Like Shen, i'll be interested in your progress.

What kind of slack security practices are your Federal Agencies
using? It's SOP to rescind clearances when an individual no longer
requires them, it would be mandatory in any organization with any
kind of security concerns to cut off departed employees.

Then again the FBI has had it's share of security cock ups
over the years hasn't it?

You ever gamble in Las Vegas?

You should because you could go there and
drop a million dollars at the Blackjack table
while winning a thousand bucks and you would tell
everybody you went to Vegas and won a thousand
bucks gambling.

Hopelessly stupid is what you are.

I sometimes envy that happy attitude. There are others who could win a
million and whine over the 1000 lost doing it.

I don't know but I doubt it. But, perhaps it was one of
the other people. That's not the point is it. The point is
that one mistake can cost lives down the line. Being straight
and sober is one of many preventative measures.

Maybe, maybe not... let's not forget the screwed up heart transplant
incident. It started with a small mistake and someone died for lack
of follow through.

Then the installer or the inspector would catch the
error long before it ever got to the customer.

Hold on hoss... that's certainly not true. How about the
person being so stoned that they install something backwards,
which starts a fire.

Just the opposite. When one has a job as a common laborer
being paid eight bucks an hour installing systems in yachts
one has no responsibly concerning public safety.

On the other hand when one is the Captain of a vessel
with passenger's lives at stake one should not balk at
proving one's competence.

Big difference there.

Odd that when Irwin Yacht required you to take a drug test
before
providing a piece of paper (pay check) you refused, but when the
USCG
requires a drug test for a piece of paper (wall ornament) you
gladly
took the test. Seems your values are misplaced.

My Master's license renewal paperwork is on the way
to the Regional Exam Center in New Orleans.

I passed the physical with flying colors. My blood
pressure recorded on the physical is 110/70 and
my pulse was 64 - this is without medication, BTW.
(I bet Jeff, Rick, otn and Shen44 are very envious.)
I got it that low simply by exercising, losing 25 pounds
in the last month, eliminating the alcohol and caffeine
and eating right.

Of course I also passed the **** test.

Of course I documented sufficient hours aboard my
vessel.

Of course I filled out all the paperwork correctly.

And, of course, I will continue to be a Master in good
standing for the likes of Jeff to check out in the future.

Thank you all listening.

Since you are not a working mariner, don't hold an MMD, and are
unqualified to work commercially your ego app has been put at the
bottom of the list with all the others.

The coasties don't have time to waste on wannabe hobbyists because
they realise that real masters and working mariners are their
"customers," not the likes of you.

Too bad there isn't a bit tighter evaluation of mental stability on
the toyboat medical exam.

"Respected master" Bwahahahahahahahahahaha Derelict laughingstock is
more like it.


Rick

Don't worry your acne-scarred face, boy!

You will see. I will get my license renewed
in record time. I have contacts. I'm very
well placed politically and have friends
in VERY high places. You can only wish
to have the powerful contacts I enjoy.

A true professional, needs neither political contacts or friends in high
places to get his/her license renewed in a timely fashion ...... just
properly documented proof of experience and all the necessary test,
completed ..... so, you are now saying you need to go the "backdoor"
route to get your "learners permit" renewed?
