I was mainly a GP seaman with BP, though worked on passenger ships for the first three years of my seagoing career. After swallowing the anchor and joining the civil service, I returned to working on the water in 1998, on cross Solent ferries. Now retired and living on the IOW.
I have no truck with snobbery, I like everyone else, worked on ships, and that's the important thing for me, not who did what.
Rank is important at sea, but not on forums methinks.

Absolutely. Well said Richard. Nice to see ya
