Yeah, I remember thinking about that too. I ended up living many years in New England after that Navy - married a northerner. I used to think grinders were toasted subs, but it turns out it was just regional dialect.
What year were you there?

I am always stunned how many bubbleheads lurk here.
Not sure why it shocks me other than when they surface.
Just was reunited with an old shipmate here a couple years ago

My boats are all razor blades now, so I have begun to open my mouth about things that have been sealed for 35 years.

We just missed each other.
Its a small world, somewhere around 20 years later a new man at my work was placed in the cube next to me. I overheard him a few months later talking on the phone to someone about my boat. He had been stationed on it 10 years after me.
