Boy it never superises me what goes on down in the gulf, not to long ago they blew up some divers on a barge.
Glad I have been offered a job that is not down in the gulf, I had my fears about working down there and this latest one just adds to the list.

Thanks for the info.
I have always heard strange things about down in the gulf.
At least the other day the guy in H.R. got it straight about my license.

I have been putting in applications and resumes down in the GOM, looking to get on a AHTS or large OSV. I hold a 3rd A/E unlimted license (USCG). I am being told by more then one company that I need a 3000 ITC endorsment on my STCW to sail for them as a engineer. I tell them I have a unlimted ticket...

My thoughts too go out to all family, very sorry to hear about it. Makes you think about just how fast it can happen to any of us.

Does anyone know a good refigeration course that I can take. I have looked online, and they each claim to be the best one. I just need to get my cert., not looking to get into the trade.
Thanks for your help!

How much are the companys paying for a 3rd unlimted that came through the hawsepipe, to sail on a bomb. I see that the AMO requires you to have a refrigeration cert., anyone know a good on-line course to take.

Stay out of the bight!

I have a USCG unlimted ticket, and was wondering how you go about getting a equel ticket from some other country.

Thanks

Just wanted to pass on some information and a thank you. The USCG has added some new questions and drawings to the unlimted test this past year. You can find the vendors cut sheet for this drawing in the separationequipment.com/helisep.htm, website. A thank you goes to ARKSEAJUMPER. I found this sit...

I am sure none, but much of the test seems to be like that. We have questions that date to the 70's, use US Navy books with 70's vintage equipment and diagrams that have been photo copied so many times I have lost 10 years on my eye sight. Oh well.

In the USCG test, the exhaust stroke is the correct answer. But the test also has many questions that have the wrong answers as the correct answer. The USCG will nottake the time to correct them. So not only do you need to know the correct answer but it helps to know which answer the USCG would like...

The website marinediesels.co.uk said that the #4 piston is 90 deg. after TDC on the inlet stroke.

I thought I had it figured out early today, but back to banging my head on the desk.

Thanks for your input and help.

HOW DO YOU WORK THIS PROBLEM? A FOUR-STROKE EIGHT CYLINDER IN-LINE MEDIUM SPEED DIESEL ENGINE HAS A FIRING ORDER OF 1-5-2-6-8-4-7-3. IF PISTON #2 IS AT TDC AND IN THE FIRING POSITION, #4 PISTON IS ON THE____________? THE USCG UNLIMTED EXAMINATION HAS MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, FOR BOTH 4 AND TWO STROK...
