21 yrs old...I don't think people under the age of 30 should be allowed on a sub or in the military almost unless it is peeling potatoes :) .

John Walker's son, if I recall correctly, was a pretty young guy too (though he was posted to a Carrier rather than a sub) when he started passing classified data to the Soviets through his father.

That whole spy ring was some pretty interesting reading, especially the double life John Walker was able to maintain and for so long, and how successful he was in turning fellow servicemen into Soviet spies.

I wouldn't say that. I was assigned to my first boat before I was 18, and am a plankowner. SSN-699.
