To all of you former bubbleheads, the Navy has commissioned a new sub. Rightfully named the SSN North Carolina, the fourth ship to carry such a fine name [:D] The city of Wilmington,NC is trying to get the formal commissioning ceromoney held here next to the Battleship U.S.S North Carolina. Salute.

General Laub Suh,

That explains it, four years on a sub will do it every time. An uncle served on the SS Gato, SS Drum and SS Albcore during WWII. While my dad was a tincan sailor retired as a Chief Torpedomensmate. He was the hunter, and ya'll was the hunted [B)]

You are a Bubblehead or you are not.[:D] There is no former involved.[}:)] The same as 'once a Chief always a Chief'.[^] That being said, 'one retired bubblehead going deep'. [;)]

Reminds me of a naval game I was in several years ago. I asked a team mate what kind of ship was it that we were targeting. His reply, "the kind that sinks." [:D]

General Amos, General Driscoll, didn't mean to hurt ya'll feelings in refering to former BUBBLEHEADS [:D].Surprised Col. Quick didn't pipe in [:p]. But General Driscoll you are right about once a Chief always a Chief. Same as once a Seabee always a Seabee. Retired in 97 as a UTC, served from 71 till 97. But I did spent time on a supply ship for six days on the return trip from McMurdo Station Antarctica to Christchurch,NZ. As for the BT part I worked for a boiler service company from the time I retired till now. But left there and now work for the Pender County School system, working with boiler and galley equipment.
