Silly question but I'm always seeing PAD in titles. What is the meaning?

Not a stupid question. This thread http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/terminology was put together to aid newcomers in the learning of our common abbreviations and phrases.

You will experience it soon enough if you start hanging out here often....have you met TAD yet?

Watch out for Ghost. He's a chronic enabler.

In Navy boot camp, if you were given responsibility for something, you became the “PO” (Petty Officer) in charge it. For example, if you were in charge of the laundry, you were the “Laundry PO”; if you were in charge of cleaning the Chief’s coffee pot, you were the “Coffee Mess PO”. If someone asked the Chief a stupid question, he sent them to me. I was the “Stupid Question PO”.
