Hi David and welcome!

Unfortunately you'll find the majority of our members are current and aspiring cadets, but I can heartily recommend http://www.merchant-navy.net if you haven't already seen been there!

Hi David and welcome!

We're mostly (relative) noobs here, either still in training or recently qualified, but we welcome experienced officers with open arms.

What was it like being an electrical officer in those days? What was the training like and what do you make of the (again, relatively) new ETO cadetship route?
