Sounds pretty official, huh? I got word from the National Maritime Center that my paperwork, medical, and sea time have all been reviewed and my Merchant Marine Document (Captain's License) has been renewed.
I started the process earlier this month. While that may sound like a long time, it is actually faster than the process has gone in years past. And something new this time around: at each step in the process, I got an e-mail informing me. I was pretty impressed with that. Instead of waiting and wondering how long it would be, they now keep you in the loop.
I even got an e-mail from them 3 months before my renewal date to let me know it was coming up. An improvement in government efficiency - refreshing!
I was told when to expect the renewed license in the mail... I wonder if the USPS will be as efficient? ;-)
