Rare,
no offense man, but you don't know what you're talking about. SailorBob is awesome. If you want to know what's going on in the fleet or what's coming up soon, someone on there is talking about it.
A few years back, big navy decided it was going to make an online community for SWO's (not sure if they did this for other communities too) called SWOnet. Basically, it was supposed to be a place where SWO's could go to ask questions or just talk with other SWO's. There are other facets to SWOnet, however not important for this discussion. At any rate, many of soon found out that when asking questions on SWOnet, people would often be berated, belittled, or flamesprayed. There happened to be this one guy over there, SailorBob, who became somewhat of a legend. Still not exactly sure how. But anyway, he decided he was going to start his own website...one that was a little more friendly. He succeeded and now has quite the following. Interesting how the navy is spending mucho dinero on SWOnet (also known as Shoenet on SB), and SailorBob is only spending a very, very small fraction of that.
I guess if you're not used to being around SWO's, the tone may throw you off. Regardless, there's still a lot of info on it.
SteveG....yea, those are good quotes. There's a helluva lot more over there too. What are you doing up in Newport?
