What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
When I am on my pc or windows bootcamp and someone gets on and clicks internet explorer I yell at them and call them and idiot and say don't touch it.
Or when people call me and ask what anti virus I am using and I say I don't use any because I know what to click and what not to click.
If I am on my pc I love Counter Strike Source, Crysis was fun but I will play more if I buy a macbook pro. if I am at work I am playing candystand pool.
Hi Russ, Thanks for noticing my submarine. That was quite a time in my life, and nothing else has compared to it since.
I was a Sonar Technician on submarines for 8 years from 1985 to 1993; the eyes and ears of the boat. I served 6 years active 2 years reserve. The submarine in my pictures is the U.S.S. Honolulu, SSN-718, which was stationed out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I served aboard her for about five years. We enjoyed hunting other subs. We were part of Squadron Seven, but ran independently from the rest of the battle group.
There is no internet on submarines. Being underwater and on patrol most of the time, our only communication with the outside world was radio antenna mast that only the Radioman had access to for the Captain's orders and only at periscope depth - no telephones, no cell phones. When you are deployed you are at wartime status even in peace time. Military email is only in port, and not private, all messages are read and approved before being released into the civilian internet - they are very thorough. The same goes for the internet, military internet is so restrictive, you cannot even post to youtube. No unauthorized websites are allowed and everything is being tracked and recorded, nothing is private everything is monitored. If you want to get into trouble real quick, just browse the internet like a civilian. Welcome to Geeks!
