This thread fucking sucks now, by the way.
We have awesome jobs. We get to operate big ass commercial boats and ships, see parts of the world nobody else does,take pride in a job well done and get paid damn well.
Doesn't matter if you're a longshoremen, mate on a ULCC, captain on a tour boat or if you're humping sludge around a harbor. We're all part of the same kick-ass industry. So cut the machismo bullshit everyone, you're not impressing anybody. You don't sound like a grizzled veteran sailor, you sound like an insecure bitch and you make us all look bad by association.
Everyone has something to contribute to this thread, or something to ask. Don't be faggots.
