It's probably been discussed already, but does being prior Navy give you any kind of benefit in merchant service? Not like nepotism or anything, more like having some basic seamanship requirements waivered.

If you are already out its probably too late. If you are in go to the USCG's NMC website and look for information. You need to document your time at sea and bring it to the CG.

I don't particularly need it, there is an enormous amount of shoreside work here and some of my friends have been working to get MEBA in on it. My options right now are sail 1st, move into union politics or find something challenging that doesn't suck. Since I don't want to sail another 13 years and want to stretch my pay a little beyond an hourly cap I think grad school is an excellent multiplier.

It seems Lufthansa has ended their Oil&Energy Club program. As far as I'm aware, that leaves only Air France/KLM with their Petroleum Club. Does anyone know of similar programs at other airlines?

I watched that one and Ovation of the Seas pulling out from Tauranga last weekend and thought of this thread and it's opinion on cruise liners in general and princess in particular. Think it will result in any positive changes?

almost certainly not that said i'm trying to think of reasons why a cylinder would go, and i'm coming up with lack of inspections which i find a little hard to believe, and someone doing something wrong which is a lot more likely

drat yeah looks like the whole top blasted off i had kinda assumed it wasn't oxygen given the lack of a massive potentially ship-destroying fire but i agree, that definitely looks white maybe they got really loving lucky and just knocked the top off and somehow didn't ignite it? hmmm story's been updated The Herald understands inflatable vessels were being reinflated on deck seven when a 45kg gas cylinder exploded and flew through the air, killing the crew member. poor bastard got king hit by the thing at close to escape velocity, at least it would have been quick looking at the list of colours for cylinders gray is carbon dioxide which would be my bet, would fit with being used for inflatables Comrade Blyatlov fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Oxygen still requires a fuel source and heat or whatever so it's possible. CO2 makes more sense, Im not sure about filling inflatables with pure O2. Unless they have some type of onboard cascade system for filling those things with 20.9% O2. I've never seen that though. Could have dropped that thing or otherwise mishandled it. gently caress that stay safe out there! lightpole fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Judging from the location, what was going on at the time, and the one photo I've seen of the cylinder lying next to the ship, it appears to me that it was probably a nitrogen bottle. Or it could be one of the accumulators used in the davit hydraulics. It looks like the ones we used to use (on a Poor & Old cruises ship, sister company to Princess) for topping up the davit accumulators. My guess of nitrogen is based on the assumption that nitrogen is probably the cheapest (relatively) inert gas they could use. This is the world renowned short-armed Princess cruises we're talking about. Honestly surprised this is the first explosion around the lifeboat area of a cruise ship I've heard of.

You're pretty much bang on. More details were released today and that's exactly what they were doing, so I think you're right on nitrogen as well.

Isn't nitrogen in accumulators is the standard? On every ship I've been on we've used nitrogen for the shark jaws and other accumulators.

They don't pay and vacation is like 15/30. AND THEY NEVER OFFER IT ON A NIGHT CARD! It's crap! Go on the Golden Bear or grab a job on the Pride. Maybe the Moku Pahu as well but that can go either way.

No Trace of tenderness softened the harsh pressure of his mouth on hers... there was only a savagely punishing intentess of purpose that cut off the breath until her sense reeled and her body sagged against the granite hardness of his, he released her wrists, seeming to know that they would hang helplessly at her sides, and his hand moved to the small of her back to exert a pressure that crushed her soft outlines to the unyielding dominance of his and left her in no doubt as the force his masculinity. The books uphold the values of their readers who share this fear of break-ing social codes, but behind these reassur-ingly familiar restraints they celebrate a wild, eager sexuality which flourish and is finally affirmed in "marriage," which Parisi sees as mainly a code word for "gently caress."
