How thoughtful of you.....

.

So when do I get my clearance pass to tour the sub?

Someone should sticky this thread for a week or two. It reminds me of my basic training days in Great Lakes, Il. Our company commander had placed someone in charge of laundry and had them pin up the dirtiest skivvies to a bulletin board, codenamed - "The Streak of the Week"

Actually, that is scheduled for Sept 5. My pensive expression is because I am thinking of you guys, and how I wished you could join me.

I'd love to see the inside of this sub. I'm sure it will be interesting to contrast Virginia SSN to your earlier tour of a 688(I). You did get a tour of an LA boat, if I recall correctly. I know you probably won't be able to take any pictures, but hopefully yo'll give us a general impression of what it's like.

Expect a full report and pictures. I plan to interview the crew, the COB, XO, and Captain (if he has time). I've also been told the president of Electric Boat will have time for me, to discuss co-production process with Newport News.

One thing is for sure, I'll be a lot more careful about my choice of shirt next time.

Can't let this one get too far away.

Don't forget to ask for their sonar range, top speed and maximum depth!

Ahhh yes. Great Mistakes. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

Onkel Neal · 08-27-06, 11:05 PM

Ok, how about this shirt?

Better??

I don't believe this - other guys who have too much money would go into town and buy themselves another Porsche or a yacht or so, but not Neal - no, for these Texan guys of course it must be something bigger again.
