Something I have learned from my trips here and my patrol trips is that I can hear the boats around me, even when my sonar man cannot or does not pick them up (GWX).
I came across this when I could see the bloody ship but he couldn't pick it up.
So I stick on my headphones, plug them in and go to the sonar room and yep, I can hear the ship.

Now this has the advantage of being able to pick up the ship when my friend in the sonar room, who must be Vincent van Gough because of his lack of hearing ability, cannot and it certainly does add a bit of "getting really involved" in the game, as you take the part of Vincent.

So I am doing this this morning, all intense and everything, really getting into tracking a ship, and I look around and my wife is standing there, looking at me like I am a dope.

She asks what I am doing and I tell her....she looks at me like I am 5...I am 46 by the way, and slowly shakes her head while walking out of the room.

I wait a moment and then quickly return to tracking my prey....

Now when my wife walks in she just shakes her head at me. :oops:
Its like I have been caught wearing her clothes or something.

She just doesn't understand.....:D

None of them understand, mine says repeatedly "it's just some silly game that you take too seriously anyone would think it's a matter of life or death", I respond usually with " Don't be ridiculous, it's more important than that"

Good lord what does that say about me? :o :haha:

Obviously I must have a really bad case of Torpedo Envy.

Don't feel bad, sweetie. If you've been married any time at all, she probably already thought that anyway. :O:

Well to be fair I've never had to marry anyone to arrive at the conclusion that s/he's an idiot, but my married friends do tell me it tends to speed up the process. :D

and is hardened

Pandering to my Torpedo Envy will get you nowhere. :O:

Whatever floats your boat... ;)

So long as it doesn't become regulation, I'm okay with it.

Now we know why he signed up for the u-boat service... he heard about their "relaxed approach" to uniform regulations and got the wrong idea. :haha: :O:

You can always try not shaving or bathing for a month, dousing your clothes in diesel and letting everything in your fridge go mouldy before you eat it to get the full experience.

Not sure about the G string though.:hmmm: I prefer crotchless.:03:

Just so you know, the next time I watch Das Boot I will be imagining that selected members of the crew are wearing g-strings and/or crotchless undies, depending on my mood. So, you know, thanks for that. :yeah:
