My reply to a puerile question
I use it because I earned it, and I also represent The Merchant Navy Training Board as an Ambassador to coax qualified school leavers into a career at sea. Don't look now, but your inferiority complex is showing!
End of subject, no further discussions required, Merry Christmas, by the way!
my thoughts on the subject
If any one wants to call himself Captain , First class winger , or the Milky bar kid , it doesn't bother me . this is a great site , isnt is a good place to bury the braid ,, whether gold , silver or red . I always thougt that some old men were called captain because the sign over the door said it and some because they had earned the respect . From what I have seen of Gordon on here he sounds like the latter may apply
so lets bury the Hatchet .
