I spent over 23 Years on Submarines in my US Navy career. During that time I spent more than 17 1/2 of those years at sea away from my family. Missed a large amount of Family functions, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Births, and Deaths. Was at sea for 9/11. Submariners are a special kind of person. We rely on each other to make sure the number of dives equals the number of surfaces. Each and every crew member knows that if there is a casualty onboard, we will do everything in our power to correct it and save the boat. Would do it all over again. ETRCS(SS), USN RET.

Wow, didn’t you ever have shore duty for a few years at a time? My brother got out as an STC on fast attacks and even he had shore duty where he taught Sonar school in Key West for a few years. My brother in law was a Senior STC on boomers and he did three months out and three months in along with shore duty rotations. I just did four and got out as an AX2 from a VP Squadron. I worked at EB for about six months when the first hull sections of the Ohio came together.

I served 24 years on 3 Aircraft Carriers and a Guided-Missile Cruiser. Submarines are a whole different animal. They are one of the most lethal weapons on the planet. U.S. Submarines are feared by the enemy for good reason. Their stealth is legendary, and they can put themselves into position to take down the mightiest surface ship. A Ballistic Missile Submarine has the ability to take out entire countries. They should be feared.

Can't wait for him I'm gonna miss him for 4 years but he knows his life will be better because of the navy and I can't wait so excited for him but he's nervous about boot camp. He should be fine he's in perfect shape not an ounce of fat on him he already eats good so I'm sure he'll make it thru fine

I was a submariner for 4.5 years. Served aboard the USS Houston, SSN 713. And this video makes me miss the life. I contemplated a 2nd sea tour but going through the gender transition on my shore command limited my chances of going back to a submarine and I had zero intention of serving aboard a carrier. So I opted to get out rather than risk not getting stationed on a sub.

Nothing with even a smell to it... no shoe polish! Cigarettes about the one exception and many subbies chew their tobacco.

I went to 1 year of independent duty hospital corps school (surface) and the nearly a year of submarine undersea medicine school (NUMI) and sub training before I went out to my first boat. IDT corpsman are the best at what they do... because there is NO one else to help them out or consult with. Interestingly, I had never actually been aboard a submarine until I reported for duty on my boat. Weird now that I think about it!
