Are there any goons in or who were in Airborne Anti-sub warfare stuff? P3s and the like? Airgoons are doing a big lets play of a fictional 2010 world war involving the South Atlantic/Argentina area. It would be pretty neat if someone with firsthand unclassified (we're not War Thunder) knowledge could share some insights, tips, tricks, even stuff to help our roleplaying generals make choices and add some panache to things.

Sure, and we all knew that he had done that kind of poo poo. Still sucks and we all know squids that won't give a poo poo about this and vote for him anyway. I know this isn't the Trump thread so tengentially, how classified is the pipe section of the old TB-16 storage tube? Like, if you could see inside a cross section and see that there is a fat line cable in a section of like, 3 feet, would that be something that shouldn't be shared on the internet? The picture is from 2000 and I'm concerned about a friend of mine

It's a metal tube, it's not classified beyond "don't take pictures of submarines, dummy" which could still get you in some trouble, I guess. They have officially Navy released poo poo like this online, which is much more interesting than a stowage tube.

Wouk adapted his own book into stage play, which this movie is based on. E: I’ve seen the play and the Bogart movie and they work in different ways. The play gives the audience the same information that the court gets, which makes the perspective change.

Charlton Heston directing a chinese-language production of that play in Beijing in 1988 and again in 2006 makes me wonder if we've been in the simulation reality much longer than suspected

Gold second class, is he a reservist? There's no shade since I retired as a gold first. I just don't know what HYT for a second class is I had a non gold first tell me that if he wore gold as a first he would consider himself a failure. I told him he didn't have to wait that long

HYT for an E-5 is 16 years, so it's entirely possible on active duty. Dunno what the recent advancement rates are for IT, though if a NAM is worth one point hopefully a NM is worth at least a couple. Flyinglemur posted:I had a non gold first tell me that if he wore gold as a first he would consider himself a failure. I told him he didn't have to wait that long I'm guessing he meant that he intended to make chief prior to 12 years, but I initially read this as "every good sailor should go to mast at least once during their career".

No offense and kudos to his bravery but if he couldn’t make 1rst in the current state of the IT rate he’s possibly dumber than a sack of hammers but at least he knows right from wrong. Personally I’d tutor him until he makes it because people who make good/brave snap choices are valuable in their own right.
