in 06, did a deployment with the USS Alexandria as a CTT. I'm 6'4", and I found just 2 places I could stand up straight. haha I developed Tendonitis in both knees, and had an even tougher time dealing with my job and chief. My hats off to those who can survive it.

Is there any "Bubble Head" (Submarine Sailors nickname) Spyder riders out there from any country? Did 20yrs USN Submarine Service.

I trained our air guys to find and destroy the bad guys' subs. Of course that was back in the 50's. I was amazed when the book "Hunt for Red October" came out to find how similar things still were.

Airdale Navy 1961-1968 CVA 38 USS Shangri La, CVA 60 USS Saratoga, CVA 11 USS Intrepid, CVAN 64 USS Enterprise, and CVA 47 USS Forrestal. Closest I ever came to a sub was touring the USS Batfish which is on display in Muskogee OK. Saw a couple in Marseilles France while on liberty there.

From 1981- 1986 on USS Florikan(ASR-9) escorting and towing submarines when needed. Also did alot of diving with SRC Chamber for the old 637 class and 688 class sub rescue. 1991-1992 USS Pigeon(ASR-21) decommissioned which carried the DSRV between to two hulls. Also was on tug boats at Subbase Bangor Washington for 4 years as a chief engineer pushing around SSBN's, and now I work on these submarines. And I respect what these young men do on a daily bases when they are out on patrol. WHOO RAHH
