nameiztaken Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I come from a family of service members (Navy), and just want to say thanks to others who have served. I'm currently doing research on serving with USAF after college. On 3/30/2017 at 0:23 AM, Lockjaw said: USAF Vet 8 yrs. I was a weather forecaster and weather model tweaker. You'd be surprised how handy this come in when getting ready for a fishing trip or tourney. I'm currently working on a very rudimentary model output that will forecast cloud cover, pressure, wind inversion break time, fog and stratus burn off time, water temp variation, ambient temp, sunrise/sunset, etc. I won't tell you what it's going to be called because that's a no no here but it's going to be handy. My goal is to forecast these parameters out 7 days. Much better than these climo driven App Store products that sell for $3 bucks. This won't be tied to an App Store. Extremely interested... I'm sure when its out we'll hear about it. Thanks for your service! 2 Quote

huffman1988 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 I was in the navy in the Seabees as a mechanic for five years. It was pretty cool I spent ten months in Okinawa and 8 months doing convoy security in Afghanistan. The rest of my time was in Gulfport ms. There was awesome fishing in the gulf but I never bass fished while I was there which stunk. 4 Quote
