Is this the qualification to become a "numbered" officer on the big floaty thing? 3rd officer, 4th officer?

Or is this more like the navy where you have Chiefs?

Inquiring polywogs want to know.

Congrats.

You know what, if he's staying put for a year he may as well sell his house and move in with his parents.

£20-a-week keep do ya?

Leave me out of your nefarious schemes!

And since you insist on dragging me into this mess, I retaliate by reconstructing your horrible sentence. "With whom I am currently talking on Skype."

He's already 2nd Officer. In this case "Chief" means 1st. Of course I only know this because Jim already explained it to me.

Congrats to him, and well wishes for his future!

Might as well have him move in, then he can clean up after the new pup!

Or maybe I think too fast and overlook...

Always correcting the grammar...i see.

Not always, but in this case he was asking for it.

So when is he taking you to a Western US port, to see a certain PT boat?

Keg o' Newcastle awaits.

Chief Officer (three stripes) = 1st Officer.

After that there is only his Masters (four stripes) = Captain/Skipper.
