vulturesrow posted:Btw, asking why was because I really don't know. Makes sense though for typical ship. But the LCS is insanely maneuverable as you said. It can turn inside is own radius and can walk itself sideways, can stop itself in about 1.5 lengths of the ship, etc. My buddy told me there is video of the LCS doing crazy maneuvers during sea trials (uploaded by Austal). Also interesting is the fact that they use autopilot a lot underway. If they wanted to they could autopilot all the way out to open water but they aren't quite that comfortable with it yet (although they are getting there). a ship fart in he own mouth a shameful ship

Anacortes gets you a little away from the base but not closer to anything else. Hope you like driving an hour to get anywhere that isn't Whidbey Island. That being said, Port Townsend is neat and just a ferry ride away

Vriess posted:Nimitz had a computer classroom for NCPACE. On Sundays, the ITs from ComSys would run the join and install Battlefield and Warcraft III on it. Had so much fun doing that, the next deployment I brought a wireless router with me and set up an Ad-Hoc network in the berthing. Everyone who brought their laptops connected to it and we could play games with each other. There was a wifi file server in one of the staterooms directly above my berthing that was packed to the gills with porn

All the people I know who got ERB'd went on to be much happier on the outside. One went to school and now works for Fluke, another got a job with SpaceX, another travels around for oil rigs or some poo poo, a couple went to work for Intel, some for Boeing, and so on. All of them miss it because they only fired lifers, but they have been more than successful in the real world.

BUDS dud aircrew trainees were like my least favorite people on the planet when I was at A-school. How often does he talk about his time in BUDS?

I was 30 when I got out. I'm 32 now. In a year I'll have a BS in electrical engineering, paid for in full by the American taxpayer. You're an ET who usually scores in the 70s, which means you probably remember at least 10% of whatever basic circuits poo poo you learned in A-school. As a former AT who scored similarly, it's made my experience pretty smooth. Have you considered getting out and using your GI Bill for a degree in engineering?

Stultus Maximus posted:e: I went from having a BA in English to getting an MS in geology. It took me a couple extra semesters to catch up on core courses but I also took a couple math courses (Calc III and linear algebra) at community college and used that as evidence of my seriousness to sweet talk the admissions people and my eventual advisor into taking me on. This is a good point. If you want a degree in CS, milk TA and take some maths at the community college (I think they offer up to Calc II at the SVC campus in Oak Harbor) and whatever programming courses you can get and use that to knock out core deficiencies for a MS.
