    Default Printable celestial question database?

    Hey everyone,

    I am looking for a printable database for the USCG celestial questions for study purposes. USCGQ.com is an awesome site, but I don't think that there is an easy way to print from it. Does anyone know a site that allows you to print the questions? Thanks in advance (I hope!).

    Ditto...Lapware.org
    It was about $75.00 setup fee and $50.00 per month the last time I used it.

    Murphy book #5, Navigation problems. Already printed for you. Retail about $50 but I'll bet you can find it cheaper online at some place like amazon.

    I have stacks that I printed out in Dec/Jan so unless things have changed printing it out should be no problem. I had to print because there were issues with the online test.

    An interesting phenomenon I found, different schools use different years Nautical Almanacs, So everyone CAN'T do exactly what you want to do.

    IIRC, the USCG uses 1981, One school I know of uses 1993, another uses 2000. This is done to keep people from not paying for the course. You may notice this when you go to a school, how they really keep tabs on the Almanacs and 229's. They NEVER let them out of sight. I recall when I went we had to sign an agreement that we would NOT receive our diploma until they got ALL the study materiel back.

    Our problems use the 1981 Almanac, although the training almanacs we use (blue cover) do not have a year printed on them. You can get a copy of the almanace we use at: http://www.uscg.mil/nmc/deck_exams.asp, expand the tab "Publications" and there are links to it.
