Keeping the blogosphere posted on the goings on of the world of submarines since late 2004... and mocking and belittling general foolishness wherever it may be found. Idaho's first and foremost submarine blog. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me; don't call me at home.)
[Intel Source: Rontini's BBS] Here's an amusing little Navy slang multiple-guess quiz that's worth a couple moments of your time. It's aimed mostly at skimmers, but I still got 19 out of 20 (I didn't know what "Med Lights" were.)

I only got 13 right, but that's probably pretty good for a member of the MSM, eh?

Elaine,
I'm impressed! You're picking up some of the lingo...
PBS,
I'm not sure even the submarine brotherhood can protect you if any Marine bloggers find your comment.
Bubblehead's Son,
What are you doing on the Internet when you're supposed to be cleaning your room?!?

Broke nav, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAVES and think about what a Yeoman does for a living. That'll explain it.
I like the quiz. 20/20. Every EM knows Med lights.
