Women don't know how to use tools and fix things, survive by cooking

For one, how do you know that? Two, there are two ways to get licenses in the maritime industry. College ( which shortens the days at sea needed for your license) or time at sea under someone licensed.

When asked if the two had the radio beacon aboard, the women told the AP on Friday they had a number of other communications devices, but they didn’t mention the EPIRB.

lost their engines and sustained damage to their rigging and mast.

The women also said they had six forms of communication that all went dead.

Apparently they were too busy carpet munching to think about anything else.

I'm not convinced they are really women based on their photo, and I'm certainly not interested in investigating. :barf:

I know that because he told me that he did not take even the first of five requisite math classes and that he never graduated.

You're confusing engineering license with maritime certification. They are not even close to being the same thing. To be a licensed engineer you need a college degree in one of the four main branches accredited by ABET, mentor under a licensed engineer for at least four years, pass two 8-hour exams, and obtain letters of good character by three other licensed engineers. You can substitute the ABET accreditation for an additional 4 years mentoring, but you'll never be able to pass the exams without knowing the college course material.

No I am not. At all. No need for you to try and tell me what I am talking about.

I'm beginning to suspect that Sir Rantsalot enjoys a subordinate position under a a certain "licensed" someone, Right.

Is that a fact? Much like everything you have been yapping about you know nothing about maritime licenses. What you are describing is how to become a P.E. in a state. Was not that long ago (and I believe in a few states it still is ) once can or could sit for the exam with just experience only. I know these things because I have P.E.'s in my family. Of course you are only licensed in that state unless you apply and that state has reciprocity agreements with the state you are registered in.

A maritime license on the other hand is good for whatever waters one is licensed in. Like me. Anywhere.

Now you're grasping at straws, going back to the grandfather clause for engineering licensure. For Rune to skate under that bar, he'd have to be at least 90 years old. :rofl2:

I'm betting that you haven't an engineering license either.

Grasping at straws? Show me one thing I said was wrong. I will wait.
 
Right said:
You're wrong because that caveat hasn't existed in decades.

Really? Are you sure you are an engineer? Connecticut, North Caroline, Guam, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Indiana and Pennsylvania require no bachelors degree and accept engineering experience in lieu of it.
That is from NSPE itself. Feel free to look at the link, you seem to need to get caught on things. https://www.nspe.org/sites/default/files/NSPE-Ed-Exper-Requirements.pdf

That all being said, it still is and always has been a patch to a Maritime Officers License.

Once again you are confused. The grandfather clause is not the same as the alternative for ABET accreditation. The alternative that you are now mentioning is exactly what I stated previously, except the 4 additional years mentorship, which was the case when I licensed in NY, has been extended to 8:

For you to think that one can obtain a professional engineer's license as a "patch" on a Maritime Officer's certification is quite humorous.

What's even more funny is Rune obtaining said patch and pawning it off to me as a P.E. license.
:rofl2:

Prove you have a maritime license. I don't expect you to do so since you haven't provided proof of any other claim you've made.
