I am in the navy, it is a maritime force of waterborne military vessels.  I love my job.  What kind of career are you in?
I am a programmer 
Im sure that is a very interesting job also.  I always loved sailing, ship, boats anything to do with water when I was young so the navy just felt natural. We have so many surface ships, amphibious ships, submarines, and seaborne aviation
I have never been on a ship before. What is it like to be on a ship?
Exciting! You feel like nothing can stop you and the world is your oyster. Submarines are even more interesting especially when you are fully submerged underwater.  What kind of programming do you do? 
I program with python. Have you been in a submarine as well? 
Yes several times. I dont know alot about python can you explain it a bit more?
It is just a programming language like C and C++
Very technical Im guessing and I wouldn't understand it anyway probably! Do you enjoy it?
Of course I enjoy what I do. How long have you been a sailor. What is the most challenging aspect of it?
