Hi Finn

Sounds interesting, what's a random program that uses a USCG license?

Cheers MarkC

Mark, in order to use a USCG capt license, one must be enrolled in a
random drug program. I use a company called American Professional
Captains Assoc Drug Consortium, (APCA) out of St Pete, FL.
Coincidently I got my renewal notice in the mail today. Cost is $49/
yr. On the form it says:

"USCG requires that every licensed mariner operating under his license
to be covered by a random drug program. This may be either company
operated or provided by a USCG approved random drug consortium, such
as APCA"

From what I understand the company must check at least 50% of
'members' in any one year. Hope that answers your question. thx.
