Sonar Technician Submarines. There's STGs, which are the surface version of sonar techs, and they deserve all the derision you can muster. We do a lot of complex formulae and technical shite just to keep safe, they just set a coffee cup on the 'transmit' button, saturating the water with sound an deafening the submarines in the area.Rosh wrote:Neat, a Sonar Tech - Ship, that's your rate? I never figured out what the S on the end of the rate is for STs.

Nothing like a slow-moving localized apocalypse to really make you think about proper data backup procedures.

United States Ship. I know it sounds gay but it's what it stands for.Franz_Schubert wrote:If you have a ship, like the USS Constitution for instance, what is the USS stand for?

This just further proves that IPLY hasn't got a clue about how to run their business. Imagine buying a three year old game engine for an incomplete product. I hope whoever bought this didn't pay full price. I also hope IPLY doesn't sit on FO3 for three years before waking up again and then selling it.Presto wrote:If theyre selling that title after 3 years of production, and not "Van Buren", there may be a reason for it.

Haha, the Army's gone LASER crazy lately. Pretty much everything in the pipeline has something to do with a fucking LASER. It's as if someone's been paying too much attention to Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.Presto wrote:well while ure hiding, im shooting the bombs as they fall
have u read? the army developed a new laser that can shoot down artillery and mortar shells as they fall.
Im gonna try to get on testing that at a later date.
Anyway, speaking of LASERs, the Army has given a defense contract to a company to develop a LASER rifle for Light Infantrymen, the TIS-1 [Tactical Infantry System]. I can't fault them for developing this one, since Light Infantry need all the firepower they can muster.
DARPA's also working on a program to create a Combat suit/exoskeleton for Crunchies to increase their capabilities.

It looks like Chucky C. is now working with the DoD. Now all we need is a huge-titted and slim-waisted southern tramp for every individual soldier and they'll have all that they need [and maybe they could throw in a fusion-powered sledgehammer].
