[QUOTE="Stubborn Dutchman, post: 413328, member: 20133"] Thanks for starting this thread and thanks to all that served. I served on the SSBN 618 - Thomas Jefferson out of Holy Lock Scotland for two patrols, starting in '66. What an awesome experience, serving with a great crew even though being submerged for two months straight! I'm glad we never had to launch any missiles, but the launch drills always got your attention since we didn't know they were drills until the all clear was sounded! Johnny, I had to chuckle about your weather comment. Sunlight was always a cause for celebration while in port. I stood a lot of top side watch ready to man the fire hose when the natives tried to board in protest of having all those nukes in their back yard. [/QUOTE]
