Deck General USCG Question #2964 (Set 94)

You are signing on a crew. When they present their Merchant Mariner Credential, you should suspect a fraudulent document if it has a single endorsement that says __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Bosun

The USCG issues Merchant Mariner Credentials with specific endorsements for ratings. 'Bosun' is a position or rank, not a formal USCG rating endorsement. A document displaying 'Bosun' as an endorsement is fraudulent, as the Coast Guard does not issue credentials for that specific title under current licensing regulations.
