Hey Zekers!!

[never_catch]

Zekers and anyone else who's been in the Navy, specifically submarine duty, how did you earn and did you get your Dolphins "tacked" on?? I got my Dolphins the 2nd to last day on my 1st patrol but I didn't get tacked because the Navy had kinda went ***** by the time I served. My C.O. presented to me in the galley in front of everyone not on watch. I was thinking about it though, having those scars would be pretty badass!!

After learning the basics on every system on the boat, emergency procedures, ect...this is how my Qual Board went, program called Snapshot. It was damn intense; COB was screaming at me for 9 hours straight!! I'm not mentioned in this link but I was one of the 47 and all these guys were on my crew; Shanklin was my Sonar Sup and Capps will be one of my boys for life!!

Yeah, I had them tacked on. The Navy was starting to change, but there were enough salty dogs to hold on to tradition. I'll check out the link sunday when I get home, this phone is too slow.
There's nothing quite like pulling them out of your chest so the next sumbitch can drill them back in! Worse yet is the short, non-aiming guys that dont hit direct and drag them across your chest!
I think Nickman was in, I bet he has some stories!

"There's nothing quite like pulling them out of your chest so the next sumbitch can drill them back in!" Sounds like good times dude lol

Yea check the link out sometime when you've got time but basically my board was a 9 hour process of running about every drill imaginable by myself. Flooding in the torpedo room was horrible!! I had salt water spraying in my eyes while trying to bandit the pipe with a hole in it...worst part was the injection temperature was 34 degrees so I was soaked and freezing!! Snapshot was a very realistic program to say the least...

Let's hear em Nickman and anyone else!!
