Currently a navigator working on his dolphins, if you know what that means then you can get an idea of the kind of job he has.

Actually in the Navy that could mean two different things entirely but I think I get it.  He's a bubblehead.  Always wanted a submarine, got a tank instead.

Yeah pretty much. Sad thing about it is that he can't really take any of his headphones with him...well he can but they'll probably get snagged on some pipe or get screwed up somehow so he had to swallow his audiophileness and get a bunch of cheap earbuds. I don't think you'd risk bringing some expensive cans down several hundred meters below the sea. He's the noobie, too, so he still has to go through his qualifications which is like several bibles worth of pure technical text. Funny thing is that he practically knows how to drive a multi billion dollar submarine..and yet still doesn't knows how to drive a car. Never gonna let him go for that one.

Navy.  Been in for almost 2 years now.  I'm a Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class at the moment (MC3).  For those of you in other branches, that means I'm a photo/video journalist and public affairs guy.  Stationed on the USS Blue Ridge out of Yokosuka, Japan. At the time of typing this, I'm actually on TAD orders working at the salvage of the USS Guardian, which ran aground off the coast of The Philippines.
