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

lol I'm sure I told you this before but back when I was stranded in San Angelo I came up with the joke that I was the four-star in charge of Air Force Fantasy Command (FANTCOM) because all I did was sit around at a desk imagining being anywhere fucking else

I never actually relinquished that command so I guess technically I'm still a fantasy general

You'll be unexpectedly called into action when the US unexpectedly launches an invasion to seize and occupy the world's collective imagination and wonder
