I got out in 1970, ET1(SS). As I recall, back in the day "Bubblehead" referred to a hardhat diver. Nowdays it refers to a submariner. Am I delusional?

Can't find much information on this, drop in the comments any info if you do

Watched this on youtube. Crazy ideas on so many levels, but basically well ahead of its time/technology.

Topic. Without giving away personal details, I’m possibly going underway with another boat for a couple months. I’m so very close to getting fully qualified fish so I’ll probably end up getting qualified on the boat that I’m going to be riding. Has anyone ever done this and what’s your experience? I’ll be doing all of my walkthroughs, crucible, and board on this boat. Is there anything I should bring to make getting my last check outs easier? How would I know who to ask for my board? Would the command allow me to get fully qualified on their boat or would they make me do my board on my home boat?

It’s a Danio-class.

What is your go to music app? When we go underway for months on end… what app allows me to keep my music downloaded the longest without having to purchase the songs?

Note: you'll have to DM me your name and address in order to get the book.

Questions: On a 594 class, what was the #5 HP air bank called? (It may have the same moniker on other classes, but it was definitely called this on 594s.)

Why was it called that?

I leave for US Navy bootcamp next Monday and signed up for a submarine rate. I’ve read about the process of getting qualified and it sounds pretty rough. Is it really that bad, or does anyone have tips on getting the quals? Going in at 28, if that matters.

I've been talking to a company in Alameda lately for a possible new job. It got me thinking about my days on a Boomer.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, we pulled into Alameda. It was super quick and I don't remember what for.

But now when I look at photos & such, I see lots of stuff on NAS Alameda. But was there a Navy Base deep draft pier somehwere over there? My memory fades, and Google only trurned up some old shipyard - not sure if that was it or not.

Any of you brothers of the 'phin have a better memory than me care to share some light on where in Alameda we might have pulled in?
