So this is how the other half of the Navy lives. I'm currently at sea on a surface ship, living the life of a staff officer. Granted, I'm close to the lowest-ranking staff officer of the 90 or so of us on board, but it's still pretty cushy compared to being on a sub. This afternoon I took a nap before dinner so I could support my strenuous evening schedule of working out, showering, checking email, and watching a movie. Not to mention my stateroom here is about 3 times the size of the one I had on the boat, and I only share it with one other person instead of two. Oh, and a nice big deck full of fresh air I can go jogging around.

Some people post to their site from cell phones. I post to mine from a warship. Beat that.
