Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[PROCON]

WOO-HOO, it's Road Trip time again, thanks Lauren!

[AndyJackson]

Makes me homesick.

[learner]

Went to sub school there in 1963. then onto the Threadfin and then the Picuda.
Loved the sub service.
The boats I was on were diesel with limited showers and water.
When we would return to port, the loving wives and children would hug their father and then move back as we all stunk.

Wonderful Reward

Bible in a Year:

• Psalm 119:1–88
• 1 Corinthians 7:20–40

Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Psalm 119:18

Donelan, a teacher, had always been a reader, but one day it literally paid off. She was planning a trip and reviewing her lengthy travel insurance policy when on page seven she discovered a wonderful reward. As part of their “It Pays to Read” contest, the company was giving $10,000 to the first person to read that far into the contract. They also donated thousands of dollars to schools in Donelan’s area for children’s literacy. She says, “I’ve always been that nerd who reads contracts. I was the most surprised of anyone!”

The psalmist wanted his eyes opened to “see wonderful things” about God (Psalm 119:18). He must have had an understanding that God wants to be known, and so he longed for a deeper closeness to Him. His desire was to see more of who God is, what He’d already given, and how to follow Him more closely (vv. 24, 98). He wrote, “Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long” (v. 97).

We too have the privilege of taking time to ponder God, His character, and His provisions—to learn about and grow closer to Him. God longs to instruct us, guide us, and open our hearts to who He is. When we search for Him, He rewards us with greater wonder at who He is and the enjoyment of His presence!

As you open your Bible and read, how is your heart and mind opened to God and His ways? What would you like to know or experience more of?

How I love Your Word, God. It’s sweet to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.

Oh my! Lots of story’s here.
Steinke hood’s free ascents in the tower, and the 1st time I ate a whole belly clam.
Mystic Ct is an interesting whaling town.

I remained associated with groton/ new London for ages.

[jacknhoo]

I was at sub school there in 1979. Qualified on the USS George Bancroft SSBN 643, blue crew, afterward. I remember the Groton had a good pizza place in town that came around the barracks in vans with ready-made small pizzas. For a southern boy (18) from Chattanooga, TN, that was the best pizza I had had. I hear they do the water tower/escape training any longer, people who have been there will understand. That was simply exhilarating.

Graduated school there in 1961. Served on USS Jallao (SS-368)

Laurenmarlowe, I remember the Submarine Base, Groton and New London well! ;-)

Coming up from 50 feet with no breathing apparatus is my most fond memory because I did not think that it was possible but I was young and stupid. ;-)

[rottndog]

Us Nukes don’t get to go to Sub School...but I spent three months there in early ‘89 learning how to be a welder—every boat goes to sea with at least two...in case some piping of significance breaks and needs to be welded at sea.

I remember how cold it was there, in the winter....one night the fire alarm went off in the barracks I was staying in...had to stand outside in my underwear in -30 degree and windy weather until the fire department came and gave the all clear....BBBRRRRRRR.....

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[Retired Chemist]

I visited the base years ago and was able to tour a nuclear attack sub. My niece’s husband was stationed on the sub and arranged clearance so we could tour the sub.

[luvie]

...Early Birds!
Did you enjoy the submarines?
Ask mylife what it's really like!
Hope all y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
It's not quite as hot here.
That's sooo welcome!
(((hugs)))

Thanks,

and here is an old one reopening

A secret Cold War-era nuclear submarine base in Norway is to be reopened as America and Russia wrestle for control of the Arctic Ocean.

Olavsvern, which was closed in 2002, is a colossal complex carved into a mountain near the northern city of Tromso. It includes 9,800ft of deep water underground docks that can house and refit nuclear submarines.
