Hay! Hay! Hay! They go to training for months and get more and more training. Don't feed the submariners, and watch what happens. It is a great skill; you can be a chef if you leave the service. I would work for 20 years, and then I could get a fancy chef job or open a restaurant. After 6 tours in combat in Afgh, I left. Got my head together. Got an MBA from a top school. Went to the top 1 culinary school. I had to do internships at various top-drawer restaurants. But my MBA buddies from Wharto wanted to start a company overseas and lead. We made a King's ransom. We brought gobs of business to a famous restaurant for a Chinese chef. I am completely fluent in Mandarin and asked if he would teach me. He agreed. Now I can do all that. After we sold all four companies, I retired at 50. I can make anything from simple to fancy. I don't do deep fried. Most of my neighbors are rich Chinese Americans. The kids all know me and get off the shuttle and come here. They have to agree on what they want to eat. Then they send to me. They come over and swim, eat, and some sleep over if they want, but girls with girls and boys with boys, THen they study until 10PM. They go to a private academy six days a week. As a result, I get free medical care since many young mothers are US-trained doctors. I don't even have to pay hospital fees. If they hear I am sick, they come running.. They check me all the time.

@@Chris_at_Home I was there from June 64-March '65. ATN. From there I went to DASH School in Norfolk until June then to the USS Robert H. McCard DD 822 out of Charleston until Aug. 67 when it left for Vietnam. I didn't have enough time to finish the cruise so I went the tender USS Everglades just across the pier. I was supposed to get out in Feb. '68 but they cut me lose 69 days early so I got out in December '67. I guess I'll always wonder what my life would have been like if I'd stayed. But I ended up with the telephone company for 36 years before I retired so everything worked out probably for the best.

@@oldsalt7534 I did over 30 years as a communications tech. I was a tech on the pipeline for 15 years and then did my last six years before retirement at a gateway earth station. I retired from a real big telecom company.

Ahh!! That's my old ship that you showed being skuttled. The U.S.S. Ogden LPD 5. That made my heart stop. I tip my hat to you sub-mariners.
