The sub guys are zombies. The rest of the Navy is “normal”.
I used to work for an ex-submariner and he was certifiable. I (we) used to laugh at him until he pulled me into his office and told me to fly over the Russia/Georgia border and take pictures. I don’t own an airplane!
Tin can sailors are freakishly weird too. And they stay that way all their lives 8-)

Like ‘they’ say, unless you have walked a mile in my/our shoes, please do not blanket judge us.
I used to say I knew I was sane because I passed the Military Aptitude tests for certain ‘duties’, Submarine duty included.
However, as I got older, the realization set in that the test was really designed to see if one were CRAZY enough to willingly sink and live in an iron tube, jump from perfectly good aircraft, swim miles with full packs etc etc etc.
So, I now consider myself DOUBLE NUTZ as I not only volunteered for Submarines, I can/could also copy Morse Code at speeds of 50WPM plus....
