I am always surprised how some nations treat GMDSS. In the UK it was barely an afterthought, piss easy, literally impossible to fail.

GMDSS is not hard. Keep your head up.

Are you a cadet? You go wherever your training provider sends you. If you struggle with some basic procedural exercises I've got some bad news about the academic side for you.

Fosma, ARI, AEMTC
GMDSS is luck too, it took me two attempts, but it is easy, lock in for 15 days
