Know what you mean. I did my cadetship with the RFA and whilst there was some good lads there the rest where, we'll say........a pain in the ****. I basicaly had to apologise to the bosun everytime I went down to give the lads a job. SAying that most of them where bloody good sailors, just a crap attitude. I do actually prefer sailing with filipino crews. I think the trouble most of the british crews had is they just thought they deserved it all and no one in their right mind would chose a foriegnor over them.
Oh well how things change. Your right about the officers though there does seem to plenty of work about, should count ourselves lucky in this day and age while others are struggling.
By the way, only just seen the other thread but Congratulations on the birth of your sprog. Hope the wee man and mum are doing well.
