Absolutely fantastic stuff. I’ve met many Navy vets who can remember the details of their jobs as if it were yesterday. My Uncle worked in the engine room of a WWII fleet boat submarine. He was at a Sub Vets function at the Requin in Pittsburgh and he and one other vet ran through the entire engine start procedure by memory.

Thanks! I’ll bet those guys could. Funny how that stuff stays in there, hidden all these years. Heck, I have thought about it and talked about it a bunch, but usually all the other odds and ends of the life, not the “professiona”l part of it nearly as much.
