Re: There's that navy humidity reasoning again

Problems, problems, if the believe inadequate air con is too blame and they want to run the ships longer, why don't they just fix the air con? Mad World, Military procurement.

Re: Irving looking for Engineering Cadets

Education Required: Currently enrolled in a related Bachelor’s Degree program, and in good academic standing I think they are going to have a hard time finding cadets that meets this requirement.

Re: New Examination Process

Revolver, nobody hates safety for seafarers, Companies are a bit averse to paying for it, that's all. Seafarers always have been, and always will be, disposable. YOU just have to make sure you aren't one of them. That's why there are Safety Committees run and operated by the crew. Employers, ie, on...
