A little history; I was on the old 616 class boomer boats, USS NATHAN HALE and WOODROW WILSON, back when they were in Pearl in 1970 to 1976. I got out of the Navy at that time for about 9 yrs and decided to re-join but was turned down for sub duty and went surface. When I was on the sub I was a non-nuke IC electrican. But when I came back I went QM. I've been back in for 13 yrs and at last made CPO. So anyway, this is my question: Do you know the old "submariner" song. I appreacate any help you can give me. QMC .. |
