i would say that for 90% of the time we are on patrol it is possibly the most boring part of life as a submariner unless you are lucky enough to stumble across another submarine or a skimmer but alot of the time we are hidden away from everything so we remain a "stealth weapon".
On an 8 week patrol i will average the following:-
Watch 20 -25 movies,
Cycle 1200 miles on an excercise bike in the fwd escape compartment,
Have 12 showers,
Read at least 4 books,
Eat 96 Sausages,
Complete about 30 SH3 Patrols,
Watch Das Boot (Directors Cut) at least 8 times,
Smoke no cigarettes,
Drink no beer,
Make no phonecalls,
Recieve no emails,
Read no newspapers,
Write no letters,
Have 1 shave,
No sex,
As you can see its an amazing life (not), give me SH3/GWX at home in the dining room with a pack of tobacco and a pint of beer any day of the year
