It does take a special kinda insanity to serve on boats. That lack of sunshine will definitely take it's toll on ya. Luckily, I worked in the Radio Vault so I could shut the world out at times.Did a tad at the sub base at Pearl. Went on a sub once with a crew to look over some equipment. But serve on a sub? not no but HELL NO!!!!!
Only iffin' yerr torpedo ain't a blank!I have played Silent Hunter III - V .... does that count?
And A-Gang was more "special" than most bubbleheads. For those that don't know, A-Gang is actually the bastard division of engineering on a nuke boat. We were responsible for all of the non reactor/drive train equipment like hydraulics, air purification and generation, water and sanitation systems. And we were all nuke power school washouts. Look there is a lot of bullshit involved with trying to become a nuke, a lot of bullshit. IMHO, A-Gang is the ongoing positive proof and reinforcement that the bullshit is needed ... you really don't want to hear "fuck you and that" in any reactor control room.It does take a special kinda insanity to serve on boats.
