1. Awesome. Do you surf?

2. Is that you on deck in the uniform? If so, which one is you?

1. Not in years.

2. I'm the one on the fantail smiling.

Hey! I see you! But, dude, you've got something in your teeth.

[Seriously,though: congrats, hope you enjoy your time there.]

That's great! My cousin's husband was stationed there for 3 years forever ago, I think before I was born. My cousin said it was beautiful, but the bugs are huge.

What's a fantail?

Excellent! What do you do in the navy, tetsuo?

I'm a Cryptologic Technician. Its been fun, I've seen some interesting things and learned quite a bit, but Mrs. tetsuo is tired of moving every three years, so I'm done.

Yep, that's DDG 90, The Chafee. I wouldn't be on a surface ship though, I'd go for my dolphins first. Thanks for your well wishes!

There was something about cryptography in my dream last night. A sign!
