However Fleet Ballistic Missile submariners have a specific nickname known as "Boomer" sailors, a reference to the 16 or 24 ballistic missiles their particular boat class carried.
As a submarine sailor or "bubblehead" you had two career paths you could follow. Lawn Psycho chose to go the "fast attack" route and I chose to be a "boomer" sailor. That is how we in the submarine world differentiated between the two significantly different classes of submarine service.
See what you learn when you when you delve deep into depths of the posts here on Winnipesaukee.com!  |
And to follow up with what Skip said, that is why I prefaced my post about the type of boat I was in........ And yes, a submarine is a boat.
Submarines are one of the few places you would admit to wearing a "poopy-suit" and be proud of it
