If your going for oicnw why do you need Rfpnw? I don’t see it as a requirement for oicnw, but I’m often blind to the obvious: http://www.uscg.mil/nmc/checklists/pdfs/mcp_fm_nmc5_62_web.pdf Can you apply for a license/oicnw under the old rules? I’m pretty sure you can, like by going right to a 500-ton master? Pretty painless process in comparison. And it just requires the Rfpnw assessments that you should be able to do on most vessels and not a whole course. The issue is this: 360 days of seagoing service as part of an approved training program, which includes onboard training that meets the requirements of Section A-II/1 of STCW C How the hell can you hawsepipe? http://www.uscg.mil/nmc/checklists/pdfs/mcp_fm_nmc5_63_web.pdf?list2=%2Fnmc%2Fchecklists%2Fpdfs%2Fmcp_fm_nmc5_63_web.pdf&B1=GO%21 is stcw for master 500-<3000 that’s probably the best bet since your time started before March 2914?

I fall under the the old rules yes before march 2014. I can’t apply for master 500grt though.

1080 days of service as OICNW on vessels operating in oceans, near- coastal and/or Great Lakes, OR 720 days provided 360 days are while serving as Chief Mate

I don’t meet that. Not sailing as an AB.

I do see what the other issue is with 360 days. I thought I could just do the 180 required for the OINCW. Which I have shit looks like I might of done a lot work for nothing!
