Chief limited / 1st unlimited Testing Requirements?: Perhaps MR jdcavo

Thank you. I did write and ask for amending / adding chief limited to app… However didn’t get much traction though.
Long story short I took my exams and now am a licensed 1st engineer steam and motors.
The long story is evaluator phoned and said I need to apply for limited chief separate due to it being a 2016 app before new requirements so it could not be amended in 2017. Wanted to get my first engineer asap, and not throw wrench in works so I took my exams. My evaluator did say I may not have to test when I put in app for limited chief… I’ll keep you updated. I appreciate the effort you give to try to explain this all here.
