>>1684399>last contract was with a female captain>was the chillest nicest captain I've ever worked with>never rode my ass hanging out on the bridge on the night watch>took the effort to give the impression she valued my professional opinion on navigation situations despite only being the 3/M>never once took the conn from me unless we were about to pick up the pilot>straight up told me to my face on at least two occasions she cherished working with the 2/M we had that contract and myself because she could sleep easy at night because she knew she could trust us unlike most of the other junior mates shes worked with>mfw experiencing genuine professional respect from a superior officer for the first timeIt was honestly really nice. If I ever need another letter of recommendation I know I can go to her for one.
