Please add my belated congratulations to the general huzzah. :woot: :D

Danke frau :sunny:

No soup for you!:haha:

Very nice indeed Jim, has he got any particular line of shipping he wants to captain? I can only presume given his current line that he's aiming for passenger rather than freight?

That is great Jim! I'm glad he is obtaining his goals and looks to be enjoying it along the way! That is important and keep'em smiling! Tell him congradulations! :yeah:

LOL :DL

Well, when he was going through his cadetship his sponsor company was Zodiac Maritime http://www.zodiac-maritime.com/publi...858E599A.node1

He completed two trips post qualification but wasn't impressed with the nationality of the crews they used or the meals so he applied to an agency in Dover who recruited for Holland America Line (based in Seattle) http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action and the rest is history as they say.

His medium to long term goal is to get his Masters then branch out into practicing or teaching (not sure which) Maritime Law.

Will do Chris...he'll be looking at this thread a little later tomorrow night :sunny:

BTW, the uniform looks smart!

Evening dress whilst at the dinner table and mingling with the gentry and their ladies afterwards.

I call it 'ego building' :DL

Must have been an 'interesting' response :DL

Congratulations to the Young Fellow. You too must be bursting with pride, and rightly so.

Oh I most definitely am....the only time anyone will catch me bragging is when I'm talking about my kids :sunny:

I would hope every parent is similar :DL
