It gets lonely at sea, let our sailor friend indulge his tentacle fetishes!

It gets very lonely at sea. Technology like tablets have made long voyages much more tolerable.

[mclaincausey]

I would imagine so, particularly in a fucking submarine!

[Megatron1505]

I am sailor boys mystery friend  :o

[seawolf]

Fortunately, I'll never again board one of those steel tubes of misery.

[jdl1279]

no way I could live on a sub, I can hardly stand the closed in feeling of a city, let alone that.

[seawolf]

It's not for everyone. That's why they call us "double volunteers."  I'm back to being a single volunteer

Ok, I'm pretty excited about this:

I got an email yesterday looking for Navy cooks to assist (cook for) SEALs in the field. I'm at the top of a waiting list for a 5 day training exercise in March. They're looking for people that are motivated (check), physically fit (check), and able to think on their feet (check).

My imagination is running wild on this one. Here's what I know: They're going to fly me out, provide uniforms, and I'll be able to work on my Expeditionary Warfare Pin (weapons qualification and maintenance, marksmanship, land navigation, field communications, and expeditionary camp deployment) while I'm there.

I don't know if I'll actually be selected, but I feel like I have a pretty good chance. Sounds like a unique opportunity and I had to pounce on it.

Sounds like quite an opportunity and an experience. One of those "things to tell the grand kids about" moments.

[mclaincausey]

Fucking epic. Don't fuck around, I know a SEAL.

[seawolf]

It'll have to be someone else's grandkids. Maybe yours? One day, when Tommy brings his kids over to my place I'll tell them of days I spent in the field cooking for Navy SEALs.

[Megatron1505]

You mean when he's delivering the Bounty Hunters

@mclaincausey:

Don't fuck around, I know a SEAL.

Me too. He's cute.

hahahaha

[jdl1279]

Good job!

[veloaudio]

Amazing opportunity. Fingers crossed for you seawolf.

Strike Gold's work shirts are beautifully constructed. Nice big buttons, gorgeous felled seams…

One example of a nice detail is the curved back yoke. It's double stitched and felled and it lines up with  a double stitched and felled sleeve seam. There is a second double stitched and felled sleeve seam that matches up to the body's side seam.

What a work of art. Size up if you get one.

Now that WOULD be an epic 5 days of Apron world tour, but knowing Snowy's (radacted) luck he'll be signed a non disclosure etc etc etc….

OK, blue lava is just cool.

[Megatron1505]

Is that real? It looks like CGI.

Either way it certainly looks cool.
