After more than 4 years of sailing (OK, I was more on land than on sea) I crossed the Equator for the first time and reached 100 posts milestone. Let me invite you for a glass of rum onboard. Cheers!

Nice job!
Well done sir.
Let me be the first to salute your achievement.O.K. second then.
Bligh.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on 100 log entries and your promotion, Daniel!
Thank you to all!
The promotion was a little weird - I earned my midshipman star after 85, not 100 sailing days. I wonder why...Originally Posted by Naharaht

The early promotion may be because you were one of the Founding Members, Daniel. I have noticed the same phenomenon with Bligh.
Cheers Daniel.
A belated congrats Daniel
Congratulations Daniel!
Congratulations on crossing the equator! Now, what interesting thing can 'Ol, Neptune' do to you?
Well done, Daniel.
That is totally correct Dave.
Founding members qualify a little earlier for promotions.
Rob.
In that case I think I should found my own navy
It rather like German pilots in WW1, Originally it only (ONLY?!) took 8 victories to win the Pour le Merite (Blue Max), later pilots like Richthofen had to get 16 or more!In that case I think I should found my own navy
Life sucks, doesn't it! (LOL!)
It's the golden life of good connections while us without have to earn our promotions by hard work and a good understanding of naval principles!
Surely you must have heard of purchasing a Commission gentlemen?
Rob.
But who cares about naval principes when you can show your gold epaulettes to women around you?It's the golden life of good connections while us without have to earn our promotions by hard work and a good understanding of naval principles!
It's a question of respect among officers.
in the tried and trusted method used by the Royal Navy. If you are looking for an early commission, have you tried having more money?
May be connections are more than money... Not even in Navy. But you are right - money are one of way to connections.
It's a question of respect among officers.
Now less chatter and back to work you Midshipmen.
Let's see how much respect that gets me amongst the crew.
Mutiny! What mutiny?
Captain Bligh.
Aye, aye, sir!
