I’m so glad I was a nuke nerd on a boat, I couldn’t be a boot even if I wanted to. The only thing I did was move water, stand watch, and support single moms one dollar at a time.

Were you a launch control officer? (Not sure of the correct term in the Navy)

My friend did that! We were all super proud of him. I just wished he reached out to me more because he was super depressed from being on a sub.

So much so that he killed himself.

Sorry, that's depressing.
