Wait what. I know its been years since my dad retired, but I could of sworn there was a rule that every once in a while you were forced to go on duty on a boat somewhere.
The only reason I even saw a ship was because I needed to get an ID card while on vacation. It's entirely dependent on your job and what's available/needed. My last job was almost entirely land locked except for carriers and because of some status I joined under I was limited even further. I did, however, get to go to Iraq for a year. But it's more of a guide line for detailers to follow when assigning jobs than a rule.
Well after my dad hit E7 they did put him in charge of some hanger in Jax for a few years. Although they almost forced him to stay in longer due to it being too long since he last had done ship time.
I'd tell him he's doing it wrong and there's ways to influence higherups without trading in his self-respect and dignity, but he has neither of those left at this point.
Maybe he just likes the sex, have you thought of that yet, and maybe they give him money and treat him the way a real lady is suppose to be treated?
I buy him fancy soap. I don't know what else he should need in life.
A true lover and friend, someone to always be there at hand for whenever he gets horny?

Honestly the biggest problem MACs have aside from their price and often horrible appearance is the community and culture surrounding them.
I used to entertain the notion of getting an iMac before those godawful commercials reminded me that the official MAC Lifestyle is that of douchery.
That and the whole games issue.
A MAC is something your network deals with. A Mac is a computer.
"You're having a network problem? Okay, I need to get some numbers off of your computer."
*I start doing stuff in a command prompt*
"What are you doing?"
"I just need your computer's MAC address."
"But this isn't a Mac, it's a PC."

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Well I think it's because you have a very specific version of "poweruser", which is some sort of middle ground between advanced users who script and develop and novices who move the mouse and click.
Actually, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I think of as a power user.

So he was an AT or AE or AG or something to do with jets/helicopters I'm assuming? Because then that'd probably explain it. There are a lot more things to do with those on ships than there is to do with filing paper work.

I am always perplexed by people who shell out the big bucks for an i-pod and then never buy real headphones...
eh, I have a couple hundred dollar set of cans for at home, but I use the earbuds that came with for walking to work, because walking around with cans on is douchey and no amount of isolation is going to overwhelm traffic
plus I need some bleed-in from the environment to keep from getting run over

Until the last couple of generations, iPods had middling audio quality.
The Nano was the first iPod where having nice headphones really mattered.
Although the standard white headphones that come with iPods are shit.
People should buy better headphones for their ipods simply as a courtesy to those around them. I'm fucking sick of being on the train and having to listen to a tinny, clashing rendition of three different people's taste in music.
The amount of noise that bleeds out of ipod headphones is amazing.
Although I wish I had found out what a ships enginemen was doing in an aircraft hanger.
Was he near retirement or just had a bunch of deployment laden duty stations? Because detailers look at that and often try to find a cake job somewhere for those people. It's why we have an aviation gunner senior chief stationed at a linguist school.

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I've heard of a lot of reasons to dislike things, but this has got to be one of the most retarded I've ever heard.
I checked my pm and there is nothing!
Why?
Yeah but if I had to ask a question it would be answered by gross people.
And going to an Apple Store would require disinfectant.
It would just be a toy anyways, but now it would be like a toy that I had bought out of some dude's trench coat.

don't you dare read an apology in a post where i clearly intended to imply an apology
I'd probably own one if I didn't play games.

I wasn't aware it had a lifestyle
Well maybe if you listened every once and awhile, you insensitive bastard.

The only reason to own one would be the novelty value.
But the community sullies the novelty.
Apple doesn't actually produce anything special for what I do.
Some highlights:

I find a very large number of their designs hideous.
I don't like things that look like they are swollen.

I've always loved this fact.

I once saw a perfume ad that was basically, in black and white, a closeup of a boob with a very prominant nipple.
I mean you could count the bumps.
I don't know what perfume that was but it was a good ad.
......too easy

Hell, all the financial institutions are failing, don't they have it bad enough?

I was thinking more the $250 models in my head. That's usually when I'm more surprised.
Senj: Yeah, I can see not wearing cans around when you are walking.
stilist: huh?
