[QUOTE=DamnYankee;187642]If you can get your application for renewal in by January 1st you shouldn’t have to recertify until the next 5 years is up. That’s my plan[/QUOTE]
While that might technically satisfy the USCG, some HR dweeb might not understand that. I also wonder If Transport Canada would accept that when I go into Canada. I’d rather just take a one day course every five years and never have any question about it.
After hearing about guys getting into trouble in Canada because they had not had advanced firefighting in 20 years, I retook that four years ago ( had to take all five days). I’ll have to refresh that again next year (2 days, I think).
