So they'll be better mariners than CGA grads because they're licensed, right?

Sure, if the Coast Guard ever starts deploying 900ft PanaMax cargo cutters.

Uh oh....the pot is stirred.

If you put that post in the similar thread in the USMMA section, I guarantee some colorful responses from some of the parental units.

All in good fun, though.
