Doug,
Yes, he did have a great time doing this service for his country (he was not
paid). He did the internship as part of an advanced placement class while he
was still in high school. He's since graduated college and landed a great
job working as a software engineer for the largest communications company in
the world.

several years ago, my son did his engineering internship for the USN,
developing software that analyzed vibration of various on-board machinery
in an effort to provide data via non-invasive means.

What were the results? Cheap temp sensors and automatic logging do wonders
for op-condition analysis. Vibration sensors can't be much more expenisve.

Anyway I hope your sen had a good time working what I used to call the
gnomes of Mechanicsburg...
