What you all do on your own time with marines is your own business....Originally Posted by ssn679doc
seriously though, I am not sure how you do it. My biological father was a submariner and I would have gone out of my mind.

That is 'Mr. You Idiot!' to you young lady :P
but kidding aside, yes, you are correct. Last I checked potatoes, while lovely things, are not low carb. That is why I substitute corn and rice for potatoes. Those are totally low carb.

I served with Marines too.... and some of them sukd... back before "don't ask, don't tell" The submarine really wasn't much different than being in an office building with no windows.... and NO space.. THAT was a huge adjustment.

Eh, what happens underwater stays underwater or some such.
Yeah, I need to be able to get up and walk around. Also, one dude I worked with said they used to share bunks. F' that. In the Army I might have been sleeping on the ground in a leaky tent but at least it was my ground.

Yeah, there was some of that going on.... regularly.... They call it hot racking..... When you've got 130 people on a ship with 97 bunks...... SOMEBODY's sharing, and it ain't the Captain! They assign 3 guys to 2 racks... 1 is on watch, the other 2 are sleeping. We run an 8 hour shift day, when the one guy gets off watch, one of the other 2 is going on watch and the newly off watch guy rolls in to a warm bunk... Yeah, leaky tent, wet ground until somebody starts mortoring your a$$.... I'll take a submarine any day..... You can't hit what you can't see!

Well, rank has its privledges and all. Are there laundry facilities on a sub? How does that work on a 6 month deployment?
