    Default NSS-CDS Full Cave Card

    Well.......I got my NSS-CDS "Full Cave" cert card in the mail today and that is good. BUT, The front of the card has NSS-CDS at the top, the word "CAVE" below it and the instructors name and number at the bottom. Everything else is blank.
    The "back" of the card has my name.
    Now if I dive Peacock for instance I guess I will put the card in the dashboard as is required with my drivers license but since my name isn't on the front of the card with my level of certification it will be anybody's guess as to who it belongs to.
    My Intro Cave card has all the pertinent info on the front.
    Is this how the new cert cards look? I just wanted to check with the CDF folks who might have recently got their "Full Cave" through NSS-CDS before I call them and squack. Maybe this is an error?
    Any one else notice this?

    Got mine in June this year. It's the same as yours. Just "cave" on the
    front with instructors name, my name on the back.

    I think just about all my cards have the instructor name on the front.
    At the sheriffs office at JB the guy at the window told my buddy "Here's your card back Mr Mount".
    Tom Mount was his instructor. I told his I was honored to dive with such a distinguished person.
    I recall something ugly being said next.

    That's funny, mine just says " El viejo individuo gordo estúpido me dio el dinero".

    I can do it later today Forrest.

    I'm not trying to stir it up but I guess I was expecting the new card to look similiar to my "Intro" card which has my name and other pertinant information on the front and my name is on the back of the Intro card also.
    When I got the "Cave" card in the mail yesterday I looked at it and thought Huh? They forgot to put my name, training date, and training location on the front of the card. It looks like an error.
    I'll scan both cards when I get home later today and email it to you so you can see what I'm talking about.

    Hey Ollie, isn't "gordo" the Spanish word for fat? I'm not sure what "elstupido" means though.

    Shirley, from freetranslation.com, John's sentence came out, "The old stupid fat individual gave me the money," but from yours I got, "Continuing the flat that laughs my burro far away."

    Na, its "fall on the floor laughing my ass off" pretty close
