I'll be going underway for about a month starting Monday. We'll be doing flight deck certification and carrier quals. That means no SFN for me for the next month. Try not to miss me too much.

How will I ever get by without that annoying noise I ocasionally hear in the chatroom!?!?!

You're just angry because you always lose the game.

Curious - Why do those activities preclude SFN posting during your down-time?

Wait- the chatroom makes noises?

That's odd. There's a thread with this same name in the Moderator's forum.

Trumpety, gassy noises.

Good Luck! Do you get guns? I have no idea what I am talking about...but there is always the chance for guns.

No access to the internet when underway.

Ships and boats don't have cable. It tends to give away their position and restrict their movement.

What, no satellite internet?

That makes good sense. Thanks for the quick response, guys.

 

While lately you're in IRC more than the forums, I (for one) will be glad when you return. Cheers, my fellow heathen. Safe travels.

Or no plug-ins for the transatlantic cable along the way? It might be dial-up, but likely you can still find AOL beer coasters laying around.

surely someone has found a way to download porn through a water medium.

Sea turtles, mate. Slower than dialup.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I'd be ON A BOAT!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. oooooooooooooooooooooooo.. ooo... ooo .. oo.. o--Wait, does that mean I can safely watch "LOST" without spoilers? <Squeeeee!>

 

 

Be safe, babe, and good luck.

I think you don't want to be stealing that bandwidth. Think "Arthur Dent making tea on the Heart of Gold."

 

"Why the hell can't we download that encrypted communication faster?"

"Be patient, Captain. MM2 YDOAPS is posting something to SFN. And downloading pr0n."

Have a good month, dude.

It turns out, I'm not going underway. Right before they were about to pull the brow away from the ship(they already had the crane in place too), I got an AmCross message to go home for my mom's funeral.

Whoa. Sorry about your mom, man. Will the ship still be there (will you still be able to go out with the crew) when you're done tending to family stuff?

They pull back in for a day or two in two weeks. I meet up with them then.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss, ydoaPs.

Oh, ydoaPs, I'm so sorry..

 

If there's anything you need and I can give you, don't hesitate to say.

I'm seriously going underway tomorrow. Flight deck cert is done and now we're going to do carrier quals.
