Ah hah, beat you to the punch. Posted a few days ago, ehehe, its all good. Was just down in Victoria checking out the vessels, they are pretty big. Would be a nice gig.

yeah, but what 3M can afford to live in Victoria? That's for the overfed, newly wed and nearly dead.

[The Dieselduck]

Yeah that is definitely the biggest drawback, I have no idea what the wage is, but I know the ccg and dnd have not kept up with reality in the pay dept.

That's an understatement Martin. It is even worse for the shore engineers. They need a bucketful of certification that is kept up to date and experience in ship machinery, hull, contracting, regulations and specifications but the Treasury Board seems to think they should donate it for nothing.

TB is not the problem with us, it's the Union! They have no idea what anyone in the Marine world does.
