What age would you want to serve?

Definitely right now. Even considering the relative safety of modern subs, I reckon I'd still be a nervous wreck though.

I actually had quite a vivid dream a few nights ago about sinking to the bottom in a Type IX U boat, admittedly it was after playing the exact same scenario out in SH3 before bed, but it was terrifying :P

1960. Around the world underwater, with Beach as captain.

I volunteered for subs when I was in radio school in 1969. They didn't take me.

I did wonder why the Warsaw Pact's sub campaign got even better around then...

I'd serve in the Cold War 1980s. Ive got an army family so joining the navy is unheard of. I plan to go air force. But if i had to go to the navy and i had to pick a time to go, it'd be the 1980s.
