I had a friend 2 years older than myself & we hung around together a lot. When he got out of high school he went into the Navy in 1970. I saw him on his first leave & he told us he was going to training to be on a sub. He made it & told me that was the toughest thing he had ever done or will ever do. He retired after 25 years on what he called a "boomer". Said he spent a lot time under the ice. He was the COB but I can't remember what boat he was on. When he retired he was moving to SC. All his family is gone & I haven't seen him in years. Andy, thank you for your service.
