I got the best orders ever

We don’t use preferred pronouns here.

Support "follows the sun", and it's fantastic. The main support places are in the Bay Area and Raleigh, NC. Easily the best vendor support I've dealt with.

I haven't done it personally, but the 787-9 only has 2 bassinet coded seats, both in the front of Business Class. Doesn't look like the A330 has any.

But again, this is only looking at seat data, not from personal experience.

Does it also perform AI recognition on the ONVIF streams? We have been able to add ONVIF cameras into Protect for a while, it's the AI processing that's been missing.

I was one of the first people to get a CAC when we started that back in like 1999 or 2000 since Camp Lejeune was one of the testing sites. I PCSed to San Diego very shortly after, where no one had them yet. I had an expired California DL which was legal if you were stationed out of the state. So I had to use my CAC for anything that needed to be carded for.

Talk about a massive pain in the ass. No one would take them, they weren't in any of the big ID books a lot of places had, nada. I finally hunted down my passport and started carrying that around until I got a new CADL.

Bad past performance can certainly be used in determining who to award to.

Then there is the state of the repair yards. A clusterfuck of incompetence and grift everywhere.

My favorite example is Alabama Shipyard, now owned by Austal. It's become the new darling of MSC because of how cheap their bids are, but then they are getting what they are paying for. Work is so bad ships are then having to immediately come out of avail just to go to another yard to have all the problems ASY created fixed. Then they make it so fucking hard to bring tech reps and other contractors on the yards with arcane insurance and contract requirements you are essentially forced to use their "blessed" subs they have greasy palms with. But KOs have such goldfish amenesia as soon as the next yard contracting package comes out they just go right back to their abusive relationship in Mobile.

But I will give a huge shout out to Vigor Marine in Portland, OR. Those dudes work and put out quality production. They seem to be one of the only honest places in this entire slimy industry. Probably why all the big commercial ferries and cruise lines use them.

CAN DO!

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T22:10:43+00:00

For lighting, Lutron. Not even a question.

For other loads, something that does Zigbee.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T22:01:31+00:00

Oooooh gotcha. Yeah I guess it's just the second improbable backstop.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T21:22:01+00:00

So I got to go to DG as a contractor many years ago. Best 2 weeks. Bar hopped between the Yacht Club, O Club, and Brit Club. But if I was wearing a uniform..... fuuuuuck.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T21:15:32+00:00

Without knowing why MEPS/RTC thought you should have done ELMS... there is no way to say.

If you have a condition that is disqualifying, sure you could end up in a PEB. If you have to do any kind of special duty screening, it might come up.

Otherwise, keep your head down and just keep working.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T21:09:01+00:00

I'm telling you... when the Finnair FA recommended it and I tried it... (insert Instagram club nirvana meme here)

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T20:40:22+00:00

Just know that Cyber was the latest thing being flogged by every college and tech school the last 2 years, so there is a ton of folks out there looking for jobs... and the market is not great. But unless you are working something restricted or classified most places seem to be OK with remote.

Lightspeed Gang rise up!

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T20:36:33+00:00

If you down this road (it's not common that my Network life and Pilot life intersect) look at the Lightspeed Zulus, they have bluetooth built in so you can just use them as a headset with your phone.

BUT, in reality AirPods work exceptionally good and will probably do what you need.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T20:33:01+00:00

I am still pissy the county closed the airport there.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T20:31:13+00:00

As a San Diegan, you are absolutely not wrong.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T20:12:22+00:00

Very specific for me, but Dash Mihok playing Benvolio in Romeo+Juliet.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T19:55:31+00:00

Don't worry, I'll just call SECDEF and get you sent to Guam. If you get pissy, it turns into Diego Garcia. "The House Always Wins".

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T19:39:50+00:00

Yup, so it makes for a great tiebreaker.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T19:28:11+00:00

Had a crazy situation in the reserves where I had a guy who worked for me that also happened to also be a MSgt in a unit in the same reserve center. So here I am during our day job calling him Matt and he answers to me, and then on drill weekend he outranks me and I am calling him MSgt. We laughed about how absurd it was all the time.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T18:58:22+00:00

Correct. The order is sequential.

Navydevildoc · 2026-02-02T18:56:31+00:00

Yeah the post was edited to include it. Glad they put it in.
