Default A question for you

Its 1939 and war has started, you sign up to join the navy and your greated with a choice of what type of vessel you would like to serve on.

What would you serve on and why would you?

Been done many times. And my answer is always the same: real life--I'm a yankee born and bred, so I'd have to wait until '41, and if I could I'd fly, but if my eyes were as bad as they really are, then navy and a destroyer.

Though, If I could have any choice at all, I think I'd be British and a Flower sailor; so that's what I put.

I voted for submarines, but I would rather be with the USN or RN, especially as I value survival. That 75% mortality rate on the German side is a turn-off.

Submarine - Being 1939 I would have to go with the VIIB and take my chances of surviving throughout the war.

In 1939? Undoubtedly, the Kriegsmarine. A junior officer's berth on a commerce raider would have suited me well. On a U-boat, there's only one job worth a hoochie-woochie. You can guess which one that is.
