Well now I am not quite sure why this Post of Proceedings has been made. Sector Miami are well known to me from my cruise ship Safety Officer days. It is interesting to see the LT. getting on job training. Of course she and CWO are conducting an Inspection at the same time -hmmm. Recently there was a comment that USCG personnel are NOT STCW qualified. Yet here we see them conducting an Inspection of a PASSENGER SHIP and complete with OJT. Makes one wonder doesn’t it!! I have asked USCG to clarifiy the STCW situation and await their answer with bated breath. USCG do so many things so well but this seems a serious loose end. Of course I can ask because I do NOT have to appear before them for any more 5 year renewals. Miss you guys - I think. Good Watch.

A majority of Coast Guard officers are also not licensed. I am actually one of the few that are, and found that renewing my license while in the Coast Guard was a chore. The CG even refused to help pay for a Tankerman PIC refresher course so that I could maintain my PIC endorsement. Its positively a shame, and something CG leadership needs to pay a lot more attention to.
