THAT is a great gesture, FRiend.
And thanks for serving.
Funny, my wife asked me out of the blue the other day (I don't know why) if I would have wanted to serve on a submarine, and without any hesitation I said "Oh, God no!" but then quickly added "I could do it, but never had even the slightest inclination or desire. I think those people who do it really start out with that, and that's important."
I have always had a great deal of respect for men who serve in the submarine force.
When I was about 5 or so, I had a Little Golden Book about submarines. It had the dolphin insignia inside the front and back covers. I had no idea at all what they meant, but I knew I wanted them. Growing up, the crew of the Hunley, Gunther Prien, and Mush Morton were my heroes. My experience has been that Bubbleheads of all stripes are just a little bit “Weird”.
