[QUOTE=Kingrobby;174240]Or maybe, just maybe you can realize that you are but one person(with your own experiences) in a vast industry that has a lengthy past and an extremely varied nature, and that you are [B]NOT[/B] correct about everything. Many, many other mariners have had their own experiences(good & bad) that may be similar to your own or may not be. Your experiences are your truth and that is fact, no one can argue that. Other mariners have their own truth and nobody can argue against theirs either.
You need to stop trying to prove you are right after every post, or after every time someone doesn’t agree with your post, you need to stop making generalizations about the industry and then incessantly try to prove to others that your views are the only/correct ones. You’ve worked in only a few sections of a vast industry, I’ve worked in even less, more than likely, but I don’t speak adamantly of things I don’t know much about.
I spent a decade on cruise ships as an entertainer before going engineering and I can name off engines & equipment from almost all of them, and I never touched a thing. Some QMED’s I work with don’t give two shits about anything other than what they need to go do job A and then job B. It all depends what you are interested in. But, to say QMED’s never do this or don’t speak of that is a bit dumb. Some QMED’s don’t want to go past where they are and some want to be Chiefs one day. You can’t really lump them together.[/QUOTE]
Exactly!!!

[QUOTE=cajaya;174252]Yes because I ask to be put on a pedestal when I crawl out of the maine engine looking like I changed races[/QUOTE]
Oooh, such a hard worker. . . how about hand cleaning a superheater? Crawling through waist deep bilge water to drain a failed gearbox. . . cleaning slow speed diesel airboxes was easy in comparison. . . let alone crawling tanks on an August afternoon in the Gulf. . . . I NEVER expected to be put on a pedestal. . . it was just part of the gig. . .

[QUOTE=cajaya;174255]Yes, I remember the brand, number of cylinders, what the norm temp and pressure ranges were, the type of lubrication system it had, the fact that it was [I]air started[/I]. But model number, nope, not a clue. Probably something arbitrary like T-225.13ab14 200L[/QUOTE]
Ohh, air started like with an air motor, or with air into the cylinder? Slow speed? Medium speed? Please enlighten us with your engineering expertise. . .
