A guy I know says he got his upgrade from DDE 4000 500ton to Chief limited 5000 hp 1600 ton without testing through Houston Tx regional exam center and NMC? I said he was full of it. He insisted he didn’t have to test. Anyone know about this Unicorn?
He has been working as an Oiler
With his DDE 4000 on ferry boats only, never as engineer🧐
I’d ask to see his mmd to prove it. Maybe he has chief OSV and is confused, or somehow he got an evaluator who let him fall thru the cracks…

Wish my modules would have been deleted.
So it’s possible to bypass the test for upgrade?
This guy has never been past the sea bouy.
To my knowledge that issue doesn’t pertain to engine licenses. Someone will chime in if it does.
