I can barely manage the submarine at Disneyland....I want OUT! They must have one heck of a test for the guys that volunteer for the subs. Claustrophobia is not fun. LOL!

“They must have one heck of a test for the guys that volunteer for the subs.”

There is extensive psychological testing but I don’t remember any of the testing having to do with claustrophobia. Maybe it was covertly tested.

I have a nephew who volunteered for the boats but after he was aboard for awhile he non-vol’ed on his own, so he says. Apparently he says he has claustrophobia. Well, he is my sister’s son and she had it so I would not be surprised. On the other hand, he was the most spoiled brat I have ever seen. It could be that he just couldn’t take the psych pressure or the “qualifying” work load since he had been coddled all of his life.
