A college deferment, plus later marriage and children made me ineligible for military service back in my day.And, did you learn Electronics in the Military?
7 years nuclear submarines, 1 fast attack and 2 Polaris boats (9 patrols). MM1SS, wanted to be ET but recruiter screwed me because they needed engine room machinist mates, played with steam for those 9 patrols.
Go Navy
Were those 3 month patrols? Were you a MM nuke?
You do know the joke about sub sailors. 120 Men start the cruise 60 couples leave
Just a joke. I am sure it is far from true... ******** and elbows is the phrase that I am reminded of when it comes to sub life.
To GonzoEngineer, I am a Army veteran also. I served in RVN in 1969. I already knew electronics before i ever went to the Army. My father taught me all he knew. He built tube radios and the coils they used. I was in the infantry but tinkered with jet avionics while i was there. We would sometimes check out crashed jets and you could take anything you wanted from them. I took the flight instuments and later would take them apart at base camp for fun. My sargent thought i was crazy but he was the only one and he did not know how great electonics can be.
