Well and truly fucked over by congress. I’ve had my application in for 3 months, I’ve been passed over twice for promotion even though I have my third mate license but I’m waiting on the USCG for my Ecdis and pic endorsement. They’re now saying 8-12 months? Goodbye career advancement and a much needed pay increase for my family. Not blaming the USCG, this is squarely a government failure with no accountability or consequence.

Anyone gotten their applications processed lately? If yes when did you submit?

PSA to submit anything expiring in the next year now, plus another potential shutdown looming in the fall…?
