Now they are serving on subs.
I had a very good friend during the last years of his sub career, and used to know other submariners and go to our local Horse and Cow.
The more one learns about sub life, the more on realizes what a totally alien life and social structure it is, individuals are not merely interchangeable as they were with my army life outdoors where social cohesion is much looser and tolerant, and where people have room to breathe and create a little space, and find distractions, and even change a negative dynamic.
Something that he described that was chilling, is on the rare occasion where the crowd focuses on an individual’s failings, or faults, and it can’t stop, they are all locked inside a tiny cage underwater and the negative focus has nothing to distract it, to to break it.
He said that individuals have had to be removed from a sub once an opportunity arose to accomplish that. I doubt that things will be smoother, or less complicated when the teenage girls and 20 year old divorcees are introduced into the tiny capsule for six month underwater lockups.
Insanity rules!
