<P>Don’t hold your breath gentlemen. It’s still slow. I received my upgrade back after 6 weeks. I hope you have better luck. What a waste of sea time while I was waiting! It turns into ready to be evaluated when you submit it to the REC, which is only a store front. Does not necessarily mean it has made it to the NMC. If I remember correctly, they only send accumulated paperwork out once a week. Yes, doing flashing light every upgrade is retarded. I’m in the same position. I will have to do again in October when I submit my application for Chief Mate AGT Oceans. Thank God, this will be the last test I will have to take. Like you, just sea time after CM and of course flashing light.</P>
