[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1296894, member: 13432"] Most of me says that if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't sub-vol, after 119 straight days of 14 hour shifts starting up a new reactor, with 3 shifts a day(who knew you could get 42 hours out of one day. . . .) then the port and starboard watches because some deutsche-bag went pansy and had a "mental-breakdown", the 18-24 hours of maneuvering watches sat at the outboard with nowhere to pee and nothing to read legally, due to being in the engineroom. . .the crappy officers. . . getting disqualified SRO because I used a duct tape fan to stay awake in 100 deg maneuvering room. . .to quote the song "And on, and on, and on, and onnnnn!" I'd still do it again. In all that hell that is contained on a fast-attack submarine, there is the supreme privilege of [I][B]knowing[/B][/I] the majority of the guys you serve with. I can still recall 90% of the guys I served with, the old ones that left, the new ones that became nubs. . .That kind of comradery is something you don't get on a carrier, or most of the other ships, or even boomers, in the fleet. I'm sure Larry can attest to some of that as well. I only managed 4 months of sea time in 3 years on the boat, but those 4 months have experiences that I'll never get another chance at again in my entire life, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOGA! [/QUOTE]
