I got my contract through today from CMT, after what seemed like a life time of waiting! 
I have made my 3 choices;
I am going to choose
K-line, Northern Marine Management, and Latsco; although the order is not yet decided. Is that even relevant?
I've heard that certain companies only recruit cadets from certain places; etc (I think it was Chevron, and they only take on Northern Irish cadets, or something like that?)
With the aforementioned companies, would I be likely to encounter any issues?
Any thoughts on the companies would be welcome.
I had toyed with the notion of putting down RCL cruises; I think pretty much 99% of the people going for a cadetship would not be tempted to do it. But I've had a long hard think; and I reckon the chances of getting a position with them would be astronomical. I don't want to waste a choice really; and despite my professional career suggesting I am a "public" dealing with person; deep down...well, you don't want to know! I'd be happier on a Tanker as far away from land as possible!

Also, I'd like to thank everyone on here over the past year or so who's given me pointers along the way! It's been frustrating at times! It will all be worth it in the end!
Cheers
Dan
