Oh, but you at least get some good money I presume

And waiting 8 weeks to go ashore in -uniform-, can have its advantages in the first few nights onshore

8 weeks of undisturbed time for writing novels, reading, training my body with 'inmate training', and playing SH3, 8 weeks peace, what I got money for,
then going ashore dressed up as the finest of the navy, and -immediately- set foot into a bar, with local chicks, and party with them for like three days

Then with the buddies,

then with girlfriend(s)

then with family.

Go on some hiking,

then back to the sub

and no cash problems.

Well, I COULD get used to it... Sounds like a nice life-frequency even if it means serios work sometimes.

How long are your free time when you arent in the sub?
