I successfully completed the course requirements to get my OUPV Captain's License with a 50 ton Masters Upgrade / Sailing Endorsement on Sunday April 1 (no fool's joke). Before I can make official application to the US Coast Guard, I still need to do the following:
- Physical / Drug Test (completed June 11)
- First Aid / CPR certification (completed May 12)
- Complete all required paperwork with supporting documentation
- Physically go to the USCG and present all required documents
With any luck, I hope to have all this done by the end of June and get my license sometime in July. Not sure what I'll do with it at this point, but it will be nice to finally have.
