This is the best "confessions" article I've read. This officer clearly knows life on a submarine, and does a good job of relating the overall picture of sub life.
I will - as an "old guy" requirement - state that my time in Ronnie Ray-Gun's 600-Ship Navy was different... our "underway" times were MUCH LONGER than the 50 days this officer mentions.
A good read. Well done. Highly recommended...
Oh... and don't miss the imbedded links to "Wacky Submarine Terms". You can learn a lot about bubbleheads from how we talk...
