Was on a local trading forum here in New Zealand asking for help about banking, anyway this bloke comes on who we all know is an american cause hes probably the only one outside of NZ who trades on this site, i actually thought he was an american living in NZ but i found out today he lives in the states and just trades of the site. Anyway didn't know him from a bar of soap but seen his trading name around the forums from time to time. He offers me advice and practically answers all my questions i thanked him for the help then thought i did go check out his profile and blow me down I find out hes an ex submariner!!!

Served on a Nuclear Balistic Missle Submarine. He is now on my friends list in the trading site i better make sure i dont bore him to death with the questions tho!:rotfl:

I threw some questions at him and this was his reply:

Hello Frank, I served aboard The USS Lewis and Clark a 640 class Nuclear Balistic Missle Submarine, My duties were the ships office, I work directtly with the Captain and Xo, I also was pilot of the sub as part of my at sea duties, Helsman, Fairwaterplanes, these are two different stations, both are working at the same time like two pilots in an Airplane , exsept in an Air plane you only need one of the pilots working at any given time. But in the Sub you both are working together at the same time.
I achieved the Rank of Pn3 (SS), my duties were that of a PN2 and 1, I which I could have had thier pay,

Our ship also had the dutie of testing all the top secret Submarine gadgets before they were released to the fleet
take care
Brian

I told him about Subsim and mention SH3 & 4 and Dangerous Waters yet dont think hes a gamer but did mention if he ever checks out subsim to try generals where all the non gaming discussions are.

It totally made my day!
