Too be 100% honest, at Meps I was asked if I would like to volunteer for submarine duty and I thought it sounded cool. In all actuality it was. I was on the newest Fast Attack sub the Navy had at the time. Still a new construction in the shipyard when I checked aboard. Missed being a plank owner by just 2 months. Ended up being a Spec Op boat and I did a lot of training and missions with the Seals, Marine Recon units, had Crypto techs, and linguists aboard, among other things. Takes a special person who is not quite right in the head to enjoy life on a sub. I really miss it at times. Quite often I have dreams at night that I rejoined.
