Welcome Chiahippo to SubSim,
Well if you do leave shore duty, get a laptop and take SH4 and SH3 with you. Wish they had been around in my day. Would have made the cruise go faster............
I'm afraid I might be way to busy on my first patrol back to even think about spending any time on a virtual tour. I'll have a hell of a lot on my plate.

* Re-qual Subs (If I get another SSBN this should be no problem)

* Re-qual Radio Supervisor (May-be a little harder this time as the boat I want will have CSRR (Common Submarine Radio Room) vice IRR (Integrated Radio Room)

* Qual COW (Chief of the Watch)

* Qual Dive

* Qual Duty Chief

As you can see that's a lot to get done and I hate wasting time so I may be able to get all that done in one patrol with the only exception of Dive which will probably take 2-3 patrols for me to get done.

This has most likely already been posted here but just in case no one has seen it yet head over to http://www.tubedaze.com/film1.htm to catch the first season of shipwreak. A sub parody made by submariners. Most people out of the community wont get it but most who served will.
