Ooops, I just now looked at his profile:
Marine Engineer...
Probably a frustrated Captain who never got around to taking the test, donning 4 stripes and taking command of a big boat surrounded by bikini girls and respectful Engineers..
(Sorry guys, I just come onboard here to have fun and share good and bad experiences, not expecting to be attacked or having my quals questioned, nothing against Marine Engineers, many of my uncles and cousins spent their adult life in the engine room of big and small ships, been there and done that myself)
Back to the thread..Yeas, ya can get the ticket renewed without documenting sea time or taking the USCG Exam.
