Submarine down


Recommended Posts

Spent 20 years working on them, at NSSF/NLON, NWS Charleston (Site 4), back to NSSF/NLON, Charleston Naval Base (we were last major platform out the door, 95-96 or so), Guam, LaMaddalena, Italy, finishing out at an Aegis facility as a 3MC??🤨

I only road them a couple times at sea, usually on the surface, where it's pretty crappy, to do some antenna work and stuff...

They were good folk, odd, for sure, but good folk...

Seen some cool stuff, ate some GOOD chow (IMA guys, if they're at all smart, show up at around 10:15 to do an arrival inspection for broke stuff), Their ships force support guy, they want to eat, but they want you to stick around, hence they feed you so they can tell their LPO that "IMA's here, working, working working!" LPOs love to go tell their DOs that the IMA is doing stuff (probably 'cause it's so damn RARE!!!)

Got a few friends who were submariners.  Some great stories.  I have respect for those they can do that.  I couldn’t. Prayers.

Several of the coworkers I worked with at General Electric were submariners.  Most would not have been able to endure the conditions they worked in.
