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.

Right and
WRONG Again....??
How am I wrong? I guess I don't get it.
I was stationed (Navy) at SuBase, NLon when SSBN 645 was launched at EB. I was enlisted.. as you were. My Rate was OM1. I am proud to have been a part of the Support System for the "Boats" at SuBase. I also worked on the diesel boats as well. Remember them...?
WE were a team then. Just sayin.
