Me too. "Upper level port, manned and ready"
Same here, I was a Nav ET on two boomers.
I did 8 patrols out of the Loch back in the early 70's. I used to spend a lot of time in upper level missile compartment before it became a limited area trying to figure out just how in the blazes a kid from southwest Alabama wound up on one of mankind's most awesome weapons platforms ever made. That was 50 years ago. I am positive that if I could go back on board Jolly Dolly it would be as if I had never left her.
Very funny Pete. 9 patrols out of the Loch in the 80's and from South East Alabama.
I served on a boomer out of Rota 1974-76. Home port was Charleston. Made good friends and I am proud to have served.
I remember my brother in law doing these rotations. He was a Sonar Tech on Boomers his whole career. My brother was on fast attacks and he hated the time being gone and got out after he made Chief.
I stayed with the P-3s and never went on a ship. After I got out I worked at EB until I could start college.
Hey I'm from Alaska too. Thank you both.
Loving the lounge sounds 👍🏻
That food montage was awesome.
Clearly designed to recruit the fatties.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 I mean... *looks at the 1st classes and chief's quarters*
Jazz flute and SLBMs - a winning combination!
Short timer, USNR, was absorbed from SS478 pigboat to SSBN602, Holy Loch. 70-71, two patrols. Served under CO John D Leonard aka "Fat Jack"
Always displayed his missile key around his neck. Saved my money and took NATO leave while rest of the crew went home to families. Best memories of Prestwick Airport and NAS Quonset Point.
Eight hours on, sixteen off when at sea. Slept when not working on qualifications. Most excitement was starboard lookout when transiting to North Sea, then the order to DIVE .... 15 seconds to get below and shed the foul weather gear, with the officer of the bridge being last man down. Family grams and movies in crew's mess were a big deal. Took the early out honorable discharge.
Saw the SSBN602, mothballed, Bremerton, 1992, on a business trip to Seattle. Looked very peaceful, tied up at the ferry terminal.
Anyone still alive, from the crew .... I welcome your comments!
Thanks for your service to our great nation. (There's a reason we are called Periscope Film BTW!)
Love the bunny on the cap! Reminds me of the vx black Tomcat!
The intro has me thinking I’m about to see an epic episode of Get Smart.
Very informative and studying movie with great audition 👍
The chow is outstanding on the subs
I got totally submersed watching this....😆
😖. Groooaaan
You wouldn't want to let a water spray on your body in a real situation. At depth the water jet cuts like an aqua torch, slices through flesh and bone in one try.
4:20 the playboy bunny under the missile hatch 🙌
I was 10 years old at this time. I lived through the 80’s understanding the awesome and terrifying power of these leviathans in merry old England and Scotland etc. and here we are once again with the tip of the spear almost reaching out and touching the face of the enemy 😳
The most disturbing version of "Yellow submarine".
Performed by the navy's own "The Commodores."
SSBN 645 patrols out of Holy Loch 70-71. "Enter it in the OOC log and bag the Goldies with it!"
Yeah now they're all... "Did I have to come pick you up? Weren't there any Uber's available?"
Thanks 👍

Peace in the world would be extremely nice 😁but these days it doesn’t look good
To all who shall hear these presents, greetings! Know ye, the Goldies broke everything. Everything is their fault. *SUBMARINES ONCE!*
2013-2018. USS Pennsylvania SSBN 735 (Blue Crew)
Qualified SS March 9, 2014.
Screw Gold Crew! Always needy and never helpful. "Green Crew" my ass. SUBMARINES TWICE!
Qualified submarines 2018
Weird music. I half expected John Holmes to make an appearance at any moment!
Pan Am!
We had Seaboard World airlines!
Good Times Especially when an O Ganger blows sans on themself on patrol.
Its going to happen some day
Hard family life
the navy should have kjept some diesel boats they can do what nukes are too damn big to do!!
Can you smoke on a modern sub?
not as far as i know it's discouraged in all branches!!
The smoking lamp went out permanently several years ago, throughout the Navy.
@@kc4cvh You can go up to the bridge when surfaced and smoke also think surface ships still allow it but I don't know for sure.
Smoking was finally banned on submarines in 2012. It was about time, too. I made patrols from 1977-1987. The worse thing for me was having to put up with smokers. Back then about 75% of the crew smoked. There was nowhere to get away from it. I'm surprised it took the Navy so long to ban it. Better late than never.
It's banned officially but the CO can authorize smoking in AMR2 if he wants to, for Halfway Night and Christmas and all that.
Time to send a few subs to Ukraine
I'd surmise a few USN subs are all over the Black Sea, currently...
Just about guaranteed sir
They're already there but hopefully they stay undetected or it could provoke escalation
yeah we need to get in on kicking ukraines ass!! teach them for sticking their nose into US elections and buying off politicians over here!!! i hope putin exterminates that sons of bitches completely!!!!
@@operatorjeffdeathstar7759 i don't think so turkey won;t let them through the straights!
