Hey Mods... Can you please update my user name to CaptJohnEasley?
Congratulations!! So what is it? 100 ton NC, 500ton inland, 200 ton oceans?
Congrats. It’s a big deal. The hardest test I ever took. A few years ago I went into a federal building in DC requiring ID and was allowed to bypass metal detector with the TWIC card. It is a confirmation of the knowledge you have attained through the years.

TWIC card is different than MMC .
Great work, congrats. Don’t forget to call your boat insurance folks...you will likely qualify for some additional discount.
Why do recreational boaters get the endorsement for? Excuse my ignorance.
I guess it demonstrates to oneself mastery of the knowledge required to obtain the license. I will admit that going from point A to point B and arriving relatively undamaged and afloat is also a demonstration of knowledge. I will confess that left unused much of that knowledge does become increasingly difficult to recall such as light scheme of a working dredge with pipes in the middle of an inlet you are entering at 12:02AM. I am on my 3rd issue and agree the last 15 years of my life would have been unchanged without it.
