8. I wasn't an EOD tech
   
   I first worked in a detachment at an EODMU that located underwater mines using remotely operated vehicles and side scan sonar then my last duty station I worked with autonomous underwater vehicles
   
   Ever watch Titanic...????
   
   
   z - tine can is a term that sailors use to describe small ships such as frigates, destroyers and cruisers
   
   actuallly I'm not sure about cruisers being a part of that description?

12. Great commercial. You know what bites my ass? The way so many Euroweenie types sit around bashing America but as soon as the shit hits the fan, "Where's the USA? Why aren't they doing more?" And no matter what or how much we do, it's never good enough or fast enough for the America haters.
