That's right, my experience riding beneath the waves in a submarine during Viet Nam prepared me well for my current occupation: Professional ELF.

Remember- when the Republicans start accusing others of doing something they consider awful, it is because they are doing it and trying to cover it.

How can you put a cap on VA spending when you can not know how many military will need assistance?

me may not be important to you. I am a vet but not an elf. I knew an elf. I watched Alf. Imagine if alf were a vet would don't tell, dont ask apply to him?

expression. What is most important to me varies, except family, constantly. elves are one of my favorite things, but down somewhat on the important list.
Dunno about alf. Is Alf gay? Nobody tells me nuthin, pout

if you're not psychologically prepared for living in close quarters with 150 other guys, under water for weeks at a time. No sun, no breeze, crappy food, and not much room to stretch your legs. It would make me go insane and start fighting people.
I only know one sub-service officer, and he's so quiet and introverted, even though he's over six feet tall, it's easy to just overlook him.

The food was actually great even though after three months under without surfacing, one does feel the need for something fresh!

I think for many of us, the pride in the relative rarity of our positions as sub sailors, helped us stay focused. And we had movies everyday and there's nothing quite like hanging onto an overhead pipe as the boat dives at a 45 degree angle.

it would be off to you.
I've always been fascinated by the submarine service. I'm betting that had I ever been in the Navy, just taking the psych exam for it would make me claustrophobic and I'd wash out.

at Pensacola. They were all the physics geeks. HOWEVER, they really helped a lug like me understand atoms and their reactions when one night before exams I couldn't get how atoms interrelated with one another and all the nuke geeks started dancing the pogo and bouncing into one another until I finally "got" it....
...sheesh, I'm an idiot, it's so simple, just crank up DEVO and understand the physics of atoms!
It looks just like a Telefunken U47 - with leather...

That's why I became an Elf. My physics training led to a deeper understanding of how Santa and the reindeer do their stuff. Think quantum though because Copenhagen won't get you there.

Now the prior enlisted cryptologist who worked at Ft. Mead (NSA for the other folks), now HE was strange!
Not in a good way either.
