I hate who I work for

How about the MOD Ro-Ro's with Bibby? 6wk on/off, decent salaries and sitting in Marchwood half the time, you do have to accept being shot at occasionally, but I guess you've sailed West Africa and had that lol

LOL. Never done africa but I did my cadetship and a couple of trips with the mighty RFA, so well used to grey ships, guns and senior officers with militaristic ideas (plastic rodneys). Needless to say that I didn't last too long there, Didn't see eye to eye with alot of their policies and man management. PLus 5 months away doing the old 4 and 8 watch system does start to grind after a bit!

You're right about the office as well. I've now worked for 7 different outfits and I think there was only a couple who had anyone in the office with any sort of sea going experience. They just run it like an office and think its the same on ship. Like you say we're the ones left to pick up the pieces / appear in court.

Just been told that they want me to stay for a few days to hand over to this clown. I've agreed so it'll be a few extra days pay and I'll be able to see if this bloke is any good and won't kill the divers!!
