New meaning to the term "bubblehead"

I'm posting a link to this story, admittedly, not because it's new news, or even all that interesting (other than the strange typo?graph?ical problems th?ey se?em t?o ha?ve over there, ...

...but simply for the dorky picture:
Silverdale, WA --An Officer of the Deck (OOD) trainee on Trident Training Facility�s (TTF) VESUB "Bridge" wears a virtual reality helmet. The VESUB trainer is also equipped with an adjacent classroom with a large screen that displays what the OOD Trainee is seeing in his Head Mounted Visual Display.

Anybody been in one of these virtual simulators? Did you find it helpful/effective?

...um, ... is there an 'R' rated version (or above)?

I think it's deserving of a caption contest. What say you, shipmates?!

Here's my entry (a formality, as PBS has the hilarious winning entry):

"Barry's new gaming rig all but ensured that the other guys at the office would never defeat him playing Silent Hunter III again."

During recent Fire Control Tracking Party training LT Borg on discovering that the USS Enterprise CVN 65 the “Big E” was the simulated target could be heard saying under his breath “Prepare to be assimilated, resistance is futile!”

Geeess! I am a geek -LL
