Congrats all the way around Jim. It's good you will all be together this Holiday season.

Remember, there is more than one way to be a Captain.

Wow! Captain for a son ... how proud you deserve to be

The only captain's I knew were in the US Navy and they were all great men worthy to be called captain. A captain is someone you can trust with your life and a good crew is someone he can trust when he's asleep or ashore on leave.

Have you had a vacation on a ship your son was on yet? I may have missed it, uh?

Great news Jim!

That's some good news Jim.

Captain James. That sounds pretty nice.

Congratulations Jim!

Much appreciation and respect for all your kind words, the 'Captain' thanks you all as well

@Mr Quatro: No, we haven't been on a cruise on any vessel he was working on up to now but we have experienced a couple of day visits when the vessel is on the Tyne.

I'm not sure he would appreciate his mom sneaking up on the bridge and following/stalking him wherever he went

Maybe one day.
