<p>Not only that, but one participant looked like a Black Mage. So picking a fight with these guys would be particularly unwise;)<br />

<p>Not all participants from the services are military and as civilians we are not required to wear the Class A's. </p>
<p>And yes that was Pathfidner Linden.</p>Chakalak Skall commented on 'What the US Navy's Undersea Warfare Center Is Doing in SL (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef011570279bf6970c2009-06-17T04:44:28Z2009-06-17T04:44:28ZChakalak SkallThat is interesting!

Impressive, and useful for other sectors like education and business.</p>Harper Ganesvoort commented on 'What the US Navy's Undersea Warfare Center Is Doing in SL (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0115711cbdf9970b2009-06-17T03:58:43Z2009-06-17T03:58:43ZHarper Ganesvoorthttp://harperganesvoort.wordpress.comI think this is a quite interesting way for the armed forces to get together, meet for conference (one of...<p>I think this is a quite interesting way for the armed forces to get together, meet for conference (one of the plans for the Metaverse in <i>Snow Crash</i>, anyway), and train. What's really interesting is that some of the conference attendees were, shall we say, not dressed in standard military-issue Class A's. I saw a pair of bat or dragon wings in that meeting, for heaven's sake. I didn't thing the Pentagon would be willing to be that loose, even in something as free-form as Second Life.</p>Maccus McCullough commented on 'What the US Navy's Undersea Warfare Center Is Doing in SL (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01157026d41c970c2009-06-16T23:01:18Z2009-06-16T23:01:18ZMaccus McCulloughAs an experimental program to explore metaverse technology applied to undersea warfare, we have diverse goals and requirements.

To address the blogger's foot print comment, we simply need the prims. Our Parameter Evaluation Plot to demonstrate immersive sonar training at USS Providence is composed of thousands of prims. Additionally, our newest sims will be used for external UUV behavior simulators driving inworld UUV models.</p>

<p>I'm just guessing. </p>
<p>OTOH, it's simpler to use the SL grid than run a ton of OpenSims and your own asset server. </p>
<p>Damnit, now I have the SeaLab theme stuck in my head.</p>
