      Can't stop thinking that Gammondork has serious sailor energy Like all the most slovenly, socially clueless assholes I've ever known were sailors I could totally picture him as yet another sloth-postured layabout in NWUs leaving all his gross frito crumbs in a shared workspace

      Ahahaha that joke from the first Austin Powers movie, when Austin doesn't understand why he has to wear a condom when bedding a stranger "Those are for prostitutes, and sailors!" "Austin! That's a terrible thing to say!" "Well, I'm sorry, but sailors are very dirty people"

      I did a little research and apparently it's a Navy social media shibboleth to capitalize Sailors when referring to members of the US military, as opposed to mere lowercase-sailors who work as crew on civilian vessels, with their slovenly lack of discipline

      And yet I'm pretty sure the stereotype Austin Powers is referring to is specifically about the Navy

      Yes the services that originated under the Dept of the Navy vs the ones that started under the the Dept of the Army seem to have very different attitudes Land people and sea people

      The land people are, so to speak, more down to earth (Even the ones that became sky people)

      It's a whole cultural thing, living on a ship in this enclosed environment where in order to survive you and everyone around you have to be this one organic unit Getting the sense that you're a different species of human than the landlubbers

      The whole concept of the "merchant marine" Like, you can't have a regular job on a civilian ship working for a private business without being part of this whole military rank structure that comes with quasi-military discipline (the concept of an officer class etc)

      Yeah, there's kind of this sense that joining the profession of seafaring changes you culturally, like it's simulating being part of an actual diaspora

      It's why people always reach for the naval analogy with Navy ranks and whatnot for a fictional space military Because they live on spaceships long term and develop a separate culture from planetbound society

          Although Trump's Space Force, as I understand it, uses Air Force ranks (which are derived from Army ranks) Since they don't actually live in space, or even go into space
