      Indeed! I served on two surface ships, and one of my favorite ways to relax was to walk out along the main deck at night, stop and listen to the water rushing by. I know this may seem cheezy, but looking out at the horizon, you could almost feel at one with the universe. Can't do that on a sub.

    Did three submarine tours as enlisted and then deep submergence program and sub tender tours as an officer. It's not for everyone, but you meet the smartest and most dedicated ppl in the submarine force, conduct operations you'll never be able to talk about or forget, and meet men you'll be friends with for the rest of your life. Will probably always be the thing I'm most proud of and have unbelievable memories of the accomplishments and hard work that we did

      Navy people are different in mentality.
      I had a buddy who went navy when I went army; few years later when we met up. We weren’t even friends anymore, he changed very much, same with me.
      We talked about our experiences and his was a lot more softer, but I definitely would not want to be in a submarine vs a fox hole. But I will say; wish I went navy.

She was tired of him being away for months at a time.

    I deployed on many different types of ships including subs. Maybe it was an anomaly, but the best chow I ever had in my 25 year career was not on a sub, but an aircraft carrier! USS America during a North Arabian Sea deployment in the early 80s. Chow was good on a boat when you first pulled out, but once you "ate your way through the boat", and were underway for a couple of months, the food got hinky. But, it was a very different USN back then.

      A shipmate of mine was returning home to the USA from Scotland and a 2 or 3 month boat deployment. A customs officer insisted that he open his luggage. Shipmate asked if he REALLY wanted that and was told in no uncertain terms, "OPEN IT". Once open, he was then told in no uncertain terms, "CLOSE IT!" The stink of all those months was nasty!

    I never served on a sub, but I served on a rather small surface ship (an old 'tin can'), and my trick for finding privacy was to catch a nap in one of the tiny fan rooms inside the ship's main deck exterior. Even a fan room can seem quiet once you acclimate to the noise (decades later, I still need a fan or white noise machine to sleep).
