Many thanks to you all, he is reading this thread from my man cave and he informs me only 3 candidates were successful and not 5 as I originally stated.

My heart goes out to those who must resit in the future, I'm sure they are all competent.

Fair winds and following seas son, your Granda will be watching over you and bursting with pride :sunny:

Congratulations young Buna! She is a fine looking ship!

:salute:

Congrats,
but does your son approve that you put so much personal info about him on the net?:hmm2:
I wouldn't like that...but I'm paranoid.:88)

Nah, he's fine in fact he's posted same elsewhere.

Well done young Chief, fair winds me heartie.

Best regards.

Well done and even proof to show for all of that hard work ... :yep:

Would it be wrong to call him JJ?

Captain JJ that is ... or this the 12 month period before qualifying for captain?

Congrats to your son's success

Nice :yep:

Have three of my own, their future is very important to me.

Congrats to Young Buna and to all the Bunas...

I'm also somewhat relieved to see the US isn't the only country that produces ID photos that tend to look like mug shots... :)

Congratulations Chief Mate Musgrove. :salute:

Jim, I'm sure your encouragement and support played a part. Cheers.

Congratulations Young Buna. May the seas be fair, the winds be calm.
