SSGN's all the way!
Yeah, but subs will never get to fly in the air, and that's the rub.
I am glad their mission is boring. If it ever gets exciting we on the surface are probably in a world of extreme suck.
Wow, admin people screwed up your orders/pay/travel calim/re-enlistment/retirement?
THAT is a better introduction to the real Navy than 30 days on a sub. Welcome, my boy.

i believe the term i herd was, "Hide with pride".
sounds like something else the submarine world is famous for
but in all honesty, the ssns have some pretty bad ass missions that they arent really allowed to talk about. We got a brief at the academy about subs that we had to sign a waiver for Top Secret clearance at the top and the bottom of the sheet was something relinquishing said TS clearance stating that we would never talk about what we saw in there to other people. I was very impressed with what they showed us.

He bowls overhand.
This is actually my dilemma for the nuke choice. I've heard a lot of people say similar things to this about fast attack subs. So the choice is between bad ass missions that I can't talk about in cramped space, or boring missions with comfort of living. Then there's the complication of possibly getting a SSBN and then my life would absolutely suck for 3 years. Hmmm...
hahaha dont forget your life absolutely sucking for a year through nuke school and then prototype
That's probably kinda rare today. Anyone been depth charged???:sleep_125
Can't say that I have but I guess it would be like getting a Cleveland Steamer while Giving a Rusty Trombone yes?
Or you can be the taker......100 men go down, 50 couples come up.
Sea story time.....When I was a DH Tacco, my Nav was a pretty hot woman senior LT (they were just letting women into VP aircrews, she alreay had a tour with VXN-8). She was a mixture of good looks and femininity but with a man's sense of humor. We were doing an orientation flight on a boomer with most of the sub's sonarmen on our aircraft. They ranged from the Chief to a very boyish looking and shy 18 year old SR straight out of boot camp/A school. This young kid could barely talk to his Chief without falling apart yet alone a hot chick LT. After he stammers out a question to her, my Nav answers and then says she has one for him. "Wwwwhhhaats thaaaat Siiirrr, I I I I mmmmmean Ma'aaaammm?" he stammers. "You're such a pretty boy, are you the boat's bitch?" my Nav asks with a straight face. Young SR grow the brightest red I'm ever seen, looks wide eyed at his fellow bubleheads and is almost crying as he yells "You guys said you wouldn't tell anyone!" The sub crew was dying with laughter. Seems the COB had designated the kid the "Boat's Bitch" when he checked onboard. I found out later the Sonar Chief had set the whole thing up when he first came to the aircraft and saw my Nav.
And a big plus ... you don't have to receive the full body cavity "interview" from ADM Rickover now days ... he made some of my nuke-destined classmates want to cry like a little girl.
Wow, what an egregious abuse of the system.
Isn't suggesting the fact there were actually "people" sitting there "listening" to this so-called "brief" a violation of the waiver? And even if it is, did your waiver authroize you to kill Airwarriors?
