I voted "no way." The way the question is worded, it is a purely optional thing. Given the chance, would I leave my happy wife and warm home (or warm wife and happy home, both are true) to risk life and limb in a terrifying, gut wrenching, horror of an experience? Of course not.
That's not the same question as asking "If some enemy, foreign or domestic, attacked your country, and you were called upon to serve, and the only weapon available to you was an old U-Boat, would you sail into battle?" The answer there is "of course I would, and damn the consequences."
Completely different set of circumstances. Hard to imagine any sane person deciding to hop in a U-Boat, go to war, to sink ships, to kill others, and to possibly be killed, for the sheer joy of it.
