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
