None-but I couldn't serve in (on?) a submarine. I'm not claustrophobic but it amazes me anyone could spend an 84 day tour never seeing the sun ... And submarines these days are cruise ships compared to early subs. God bless you all that serve or have served on pig boats.
Oh yeah. I went into a WWII Pacific sub a few years ago at a museum. damn...
Have a coworker who sailed on boomers as a tech rep for a few years. He said every cruise at least one guy would go off his cams and spend a few weeks sedated until they could rendevous with a support ship.
