    Default Success !!

    3rd day of testing and I am ready for this to be over...My plan, was always to do, just 2 modules per day and have the evenings to cram again for the next two mods, the following day..I think I could have done them quicker but this strategy has worked pretty well for me, except it drug the whole process out a little longer than I would have liked..

    The lowest score was an 86 in deck safety and I milked the full allotted time for the test, to look up every question that I could.. I just have cel nav left for tomorrow, for the Oceans endorsement but the 1600 Mate N/C is in the bag.. What a long road this has been...It would have been a lot longer had it not been for this forum and many of the contributors on it..

    Thanks John, and crew..

    Congratulations! It's a helluva feeling to get that behind I know, and some 12yo Flor de Cana sounds like a great idea....I like that thinking injunear!

    This forum was and is a tremendous help to me as well, Thanks to all who post!

    Thanks guys, i appreciate it..

    I went ahead a had the NMC add Oceans to the license this morning...That test lasted a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated...Got an 87 with that one but still cant figure out how I missed a time of LAN problem..How can you get a running sunline/ lan and a three start fix correct and miss something so simple? Oh well, it doesn't matter now..

    Time to head for home and start drinking something cold...
