JG,

Sorry if that came across as abrupt.
I was interrupted by the dinner bell.

I suspect the requirements don't include a Captains ticket
because one would be working under the umbrella of the school.

If one were to open a new school, you would probably be right.

Not at all... I have my priorities also.

The school requires it, generally. I can't think of a commercial school that
doesn't. One of them didn't know about the TWIC requirement (it was fairly
hidden at the beginning), but as soon as they learned about it, they
broadcast it to the instructors.

I'll call the school owner tomorrow and find out what the deal is.

Probably a good idea... I do know one place out here that lets you "work"
while you get your license. They typically have you on non-powered boats or
shadowing a licensed instructor. Same thing goes with ASA/USSailing certs.
You "work" off someone else's cert until you get yours. I believe USSailing
gives them 16 mos., but don't quote me.
