I am not P'O'ed and I don't disagree with you on most things.
I think some of the requirements are crazy, like drug testing but it;s
just a sign of the times.
I am sure you know the CG does not required a license for waters that
are not ''navigable water of the USA"( located completely within the
state) many states do have licensing requirements.
I am not sure what it costs to get a CG license, It was free when I got
my license and a renewal but I am sure a free is involved now just like
other professional license's.
