I agree. We talked a lot about his scenario and the Deepwater Horizon the last 9 days in GMDSS class. He is making him self out to be a Hero that the uneducated public believes wholeheartedly.

Real Merchant Marines. Yeah, from Quantico?

The “last 9 days in GMDSS class”. That’s and interesting comment since the class is only 10 days long, some might just say “the whole class”. That’s kinda like saying, “no, it wasn’t a bad year, just the last 364 days!”

And I want to be in the movie regardless. I can vomit in outrage off camera and still get in a major movie. Hell yeah!
