"Can you tell us about your job onboard that sub (without having to kill us)? hahahaha" I was the lowest ranking guy on my sub. All they would let me do was steer the helm (Left & Right) and the bow and stern planes (Up and Down). I was in the Naval Reserve (two years active duty only) so they could not invest much in me with the short duty time. They would have sent me to nuclear school (It was new then) but, I would have had to 'sign-up' for six more years. So....

Congratulations to Beach_Babe and her fine son-in-law. His dedication and service to his country is admirable.
May God Bless Sam and all of his family abundantly.
(PS: his picture reminds me of my Dad's taken when he was in the Navy 50 years ago! Both of them are very handsome fellows!)

SSBN OHIO CLASS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE, USA The Ohio class submarines serve the United States Navy as the virtually undetectable undersea launch platforms of intercontinental missiles. The Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics, based at Groton, Connecticut, has built 18 Ohio submarines, commissioned between 1981 and 1997. The submarines of the Pacific Fleet are based at Bangor, Washington, and those of the Atlantic Fleet at King's Bay, Georgia. The submarines spend 70 days at sea followed by 25 days in dock for overhaul.

Los Angeles Class Attack Submarines
Los Angeles-class (SSN688) submarines form the backbone of the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered attack submarine fleet. Their primary missions are to hunt enemy submarines and surface ships, launch cruise-missile strikes on land-based targets and gather intelligence. The final 23 submarines of the 62-ship class are known as improved 688s. These are equipped with BSY-1 combat systems, as well as retractable bow planes and hardened sails to break through ice during Arctic operations.

Don't be so sure about that 'too tall for submarines' *L* Tallest guy on my husband's boat is 6'8". No joke. I've met him. He's a machinists mate.

O, God, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.
Thank you all for your kind words
Ill pass them on to Sam. We expect him home on leave in a few weeks. Were hoping hell be stationed at Mayport, FL, which is quite close to home. After being introduced to FRs canteen on this submarine thread, wouldnt it be a kick if he landed up on a submarine.
To: Beach_Babe
Unless the Navy has changed it's rules, you have to volunteer for Submarine duty.
