SO, as some of you know, the Mar eng world is one few trades with Certifications at different levels. I just finished my QL 5 and now receive Spec Pay, but am still currently doing my CERT 2. I just received my UTPNCM offer for RMC with an Ocdt date effective June 1. MY timeline for my cert 2 is to be complete by July 31st. I was told today that the career manger said if by my completion date I have not received my Cert 2 that he would start the processes of recouping my Spec pay retroactive to date of completing my QL5. I asked for a reference of this in writing and received a "Because the career manager said so". I've been looking and haven't found anything that says he can...or for that matter that he can't. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Question 2. My current TOS end in August. If I still never had a Cert 2, and was a month over, would they still recoup Spec pay?
It isn't that I don't want to do a Cert 2, or am trying to be lazy. I have to prepare for a move (IE sell house and etc). If I was to have a Cert 2, I would have to go to sea for all of April if not longer for trainning. So that would really add some time constraints.
