As the other replies show, free time on a sub is a rare commodity, especially when you’re at sea. Even before you report on board your first sub as a non non-qualified crew member (a nub, a free air breathing, sanitary tank filling, delinquent puke), you’ve spent the prior 15 months or so going through nuclear power training, sub school, and, plus for enlisted crew members all the various schools for your specialty rating.The sub crew and the Navy want you to get to work and contribute. Your first and most important job is to get started on your watch station and submarine qualifications. When you’re not on watch under instruction, doing admin and record paperwork, studying and practicing for your qualifications, observing maintenance, attending continuing training, engineering and ship’s casualty drills, etc., you just don’t have that much free time at sea on in port. You do have a bit more free time in port since there are no, round the clock watches, only the duty watch. At sea, free time, when you have some, is when you sleep. You may be able to squeeze in a movie (flick) or a game of cards here and there.It can take 1–1/2 to 2 years complete your qualifications, including the coveted dolphins that tells the rest of the world you are qualified in subs. For an officer, being submarine warfare qualified is a major career step. If you don’t earn it, it is a career killer. This is also true for the enlisted crew members, if you want to stay in subs. The process is grueling and requires detailed knowledge of just about everything to do with the sub you are on. This is necessary as each person literally holds the lives of their shipmates in their hands. You have to know how to respond and what your responsibilities are to save your sub and each others lives in an emergency.Even after you have completed your on board qualifications, there is no rest from learning and qualification, plus greater responsibilities are placed on you. Some are in the form of collateral duties. Some are for readying yourself for career advancement. For a nuclear sub officer, that means qualifying as an Engineering Officer (Prospective Nuclear Engineering Officer school with exams, interviews at headquarters (NAVSEA-08) that all have to be passed to be qualified for your next career step). If you make a career of it, there is much more of this ahead of you, and much greater responsibility every step of the way, and it’s not for everyone.

Digital signature certificates have an explicit start date and an explicit expiration date. Most applications check the validity period of a certificate when the digital certificate is used.The signature certificate expiration date is also used for managing the certificate revocation list (CRL). A certificate is removed from the revocation list when its natural expiration date arrives. As such, generally the shorter the certificate validity period, the shorter the CRL.

I prepare and file tax returns both at work and as a side business. On the whole it is more advantageous to prepare a return with a software program and e-file it than prepare a paper return and file by mail.The first advantage of e-filing is that you get confirmation from the IRS that your return has been received and accepted. With a paper return the best you can do is send via certified mail return receipt requested, and include a receipt no SASE for the service center to sign and send back to you. While the USPS return receipt will come back, if your return is lost the IRS can claim your envelope was empty or contained blank paper. And they won’t return the receipt you ask them to sign and return.Another advantage is an e-filed return must contain no errors to be accepted. One of the most common reasons for a return to be audited is math errors. Return preparation software will make all calculations so there are no math errors and all other data is present so the return can be filed.A final advantage is that in many cases returns must be e-filed.I can’t think of many advantages of paper filing. My ex-boss, a tax pro of 45 years experience, always paper filed because he didn’t want to help the IRS get his information in their computers where he felt it could be used for nefarious purposes. I would point out that he prepared returns for our employer that were e-filed, but he didn’t care, he felt his privacy was somehow being compromised but I never got a good explanation as to how that would happen.As for the safety of e-filing itself, I would say it is very secure. The information is encrypted and sent through a secure connection with the software provider which then uses a secure connection to transmit it to the IRS. Return information is more likely to be compromised via hacking of your return preparer or via loss of a paper return than by the transmission of an e-filed return.I don’t see any reason why anyone shouldn’t e-file. You can hire a tax pro to do it for you, or buy a software such as TurboTax to do it for you. Its easy and inexpensive.

What is Digital Signature?A digital signature is basically a way to ensure that an electronic document (e-mail, spreadsheet, text file, etc.) is authentic. Authentic means that you know who created the document and you know that it has not been altered in any way since that person created it.Digital signatures rely on certain types of encryption to ensure authentication. Encryption is the process of taking all the data that one computer is sending to another and encoding it into a form that only the other computer will be able to decode. Authentication is the process of verifying that information is coming from a trusted source. These two processes work hand in hand for digital signatures.How do I get a Digital Signature?Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key that certifies the identity of the holder, issued by a signNowing Authority (CA). There are many companies provide Digital Signature , i.e.SIFYeMudhra(n)codeThese companies gives LRA to several companies that are basically known as LRA. You may directly apply online and purchase from your local authority.Digital Signature for E-tenderingThere are three types of digital signature certificates depending on the validation of identity and type of use. They are:Class I DSC – Individuals get it for validating the email identification of the users and in situations where risk is minimal and here the signature is stored in software.Class II DSC – Business organizations or individuals use this digital signature certificate to validate the information given by the subscriber in the application against the information available in a trusted consumer database and in other such situations where security risk is moderate. In this case a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.Class III DSC – This digital certificate is directly issued by the signNowing authority and it is required that the person applying for DSC must be present at the signNowing authority’s premises and prove his/her identity in front of the authority and the security risk involved in this case is very high. In this case also a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.The Necessity of Digital Signature CertificatesFor e-filing of the income tax returns by any individual, the Government of India has made it mandatory to affix digital signatures to the income tax returns documents. For affixing the digital signature one must have digital signature certificates issued by licensed certification authority.In addition, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has set the mandatory guidelines for the companies directing them to file all reports, applications and forms using a digital signature only and this again requires a digital signature certificate.For GST also a company must verify its GST application by affixing a digital signature using digital signature certificate in order to get registered for GST.These days many Government procedures, filling different applications, amendments and forms require digital signatures made by using digital signature certificates.Benefits of Digital Signature CertificatesSaves Money & Time: As there is no need of physical presence you can digitally sign your PDF files and other documents using DSC anywhere & anytime. You need not sign your paper documents and then scan them to send them across through internet if you follow the above given option. You can save the money which would otherwise be spent on printing and scanning the document.
