Wow! Just joined the forum and did not expect all the responses. I'll get some photos posted as soon as my wife gets back from visiting the Grandkids and returns my camera. She broke hers. My boat was the SSN 685, a Fast Attack. It was in Dev. Group 2 out of New London. I was also on the AS-32, USS Holland, a Submarine Tender out of Holy Loch, Scotland. I have fond memories of the Pubs there, especially one in Fort William. Not actually the pub itself, but the redhead that tendered bar there. Somehow, when she drew that pint of lager it tasted much better.
I'll have to agree that for old eyes the fixed sights are a little easier than the adjustable variety. Anyway, I'm getting older and I go out and shoot the thing. It is what it was made for. Never understood keeping a gun in the safe and never shooting it. I like to get to know it and for it to know me. It's the steel, wood and leather I guess. I am unable to warm up to plastic guns. There's no romance about them. I always remember the line from the movie Red River. There's nothing like a good gun, a swiss watch and a woman from anywhere.
