I hope to join the Merchant Navy and work with P&O...obviously you can't do that straight away, I hear you have to work with other ships first.

Where did you hear that Nathan? For your experience it would be better to sail on different kind of ships, but when you are sure you want to work on a P&O ferry i don't see any problems to apply for a function at P&O right after finishing the nautical college. Ofcours if you have the right qualification

It is no surprise the winning vote is captain of cruise ship or ANY type of ships-this is ship simulator.

If I'll be a captain of cruise ship - I'll show how does the bottom of the sea looks like to all of the passengers.
Voted for cargo ship captain

You could tour the Titanic!

(We should get back on topic, well, this is small talk, idk)

Capt of POH said I wouldn't jump straight into ferrying, but i'd have to train on other types of ships around the world first $:-\$

But who knows? It could change by the time you are old enough. Be hopeful!

I guess the Captain has a point. Sail world wide for a while, see something of the world, have some fun while you're young and gain some life experience by seeing other cultures etc etc. Once you have the 'been there, done that' feeling and ready to settle down with your social life you can always join P&O with their 2 weeks on/2 weeks off or 3 weeks on/3 weeks off schedule. You'll be crossing the pond from NL to the UK and vica versa every night. But this is just my opinion

Maybe you could use a little less hastey language and use smiles such as

when you are making a joke rather then a uneeded statement?

Problems with your PC?

I had enough of flying in helicopters when I was younger. Our battalion was just up the road from the army school of aviation, so when the trainee Blackhawk pilots were learning tactical flying, they flew us around. In steep, narrow valleys. Right after lunch.

Hell is watching tussocks of grass and various bits of vegetation fly past your window in a blur while everyone around you is hurling, except for the bloke opposite, who is holding a sick bag out to you with an evil grin on his face

. They hug every contour, so you experience lots of G's both negative and positive, and wonder how they stick so close to the ground at such speeds without smearing the whole show across the landscape...

You're right, it's probably a much better ride up front

LOL yes it can suck sometimes. Its funny to watch those guys who aren't enjoying the flight as much as I am. The pilots always do it on purpose. Good times.

I'm sorry to hear that bsm2003. I hope that if and when I am able to change jobs within the Army and become a boat driver I share your passion.
