As in we retain normal function in our anuses (anii?) because we are not constantly getting F'ed in the A by other SWOs?

...and thus, in one insignificant post, we get more of a glimpse into what life as a SWO would be like than I've ever cared to know.

Seriously - spare me the SWO bashing BS - it ain't that hard...AT ALL! Any future NAVAL OFFICER is expected to exert SOME effort.

"The VIP code is the two number designation for the Arleigh Burke Class DDG."

There isn't an aviator on here who wouldn't roll there eyes a bit if the question were instead the "two number designation of the Hornet."

I don't know for sure. The Sailor Bob site took a lot of heat from some SWO leaders in the early days. A big argument was "loose talk in public" with lurkers and trollers watching. As I understand it, the password was created to silence a few of the vocal critics. Even though it is silly, it does deter some.

You're probably referring to the fact that you need to be a member in order to see behind the magic curtain. That goes back to the days when Sailor Bob actual started his site up. He wanted it so that only SWO's would be on the forum. No aviators, midshipmen, officer candidates, etc. He's loosened that up in the last few years, especially for the midshipmen and OC's that already know they're going SWO. You don't have to like it. It is his site after all. His sandbox, his rules.

You need a password to join this site. :icon_roll

Not to lurk...

To be fair, the question is a little confusing. It's not hard to find the number of the USS Arleigh Burke, but I had a hard time verifying that a class of ships uses the number from the lead ship. But I was able to find that out, and I learned something, so I don't mind the legwork.

One that each person makes up. Not a secret code to join. It seems to do a lot to help those who are considering joining the Navy and Marines
The "secret code" isn't a freaking secret. Any SWO worth his salt already knows the answer to what the two number designation is for the Arleigh Burke Class DDG. And if you don't know the answer and can't find it, then maybe the Navy isn't the right place for you. Bottom line, as it says in the first sentence right on the Registration Agreement Terms: "This forum is for USN Surface Warfare Officers Only!:

Yes, but you don't need to join if all you want to do is lurk. If you don't want to join, then you don't need a password. If you want to join, then you need a password.

Not if you're a SWO, and that's the point.

With all the abuse they get on this site I can't say that I blame them

This thread has officially obtained "AWESOME" status. After reading it I just can't figure out why SWOs have a reputation for being D-Bags...

Now we can stop trying to lurke on their SWOsite and get back to the aviation world. Why do aviators want to read it anyway? It's kind of like that time Hugh Grant picked up the skanky prostitute when he was already married to Elizabeth Hurley.

I think its about time to change the title of this thread to something a little more battle royalish.
