I'm a nuke - one of those amorphous pegs whom Admiral Rickover pounded into the shape he desired to fit into his nuke navy program. Once I emerged from that service obligation (Hey! It kept me out of rice paddies!), I stayed with it as the industry allowed for a good and secure living for my young and growing family.

As can be seen from my registered date, been here for a while. Wish there'd be a SEIV Platinum or something, as I am not all that comfortable with patches and mods. I'd just like to have it all on the CD. It's one of the reasons I've not bought Gold yet, and have not gone PBW, KOTH, etc.

jim - like the mac####, on the other side of 50

Glad to see another nuc around! Latch 'em and snatch 'em. Were you on a submarine or a target

? I guess if you are talking about staying out of the paddies, it must have been one of the older subs.

On patches and MS Windows, au contraire! You see, I have the tech do it.

That is, I have someone who knows well what s/he is doing perform the operation. That also is the nuke in me talking. ;-)

I wanted to go subs. 637 class was the newest one at the time. You know, the "slow attack" class. However, the USN was scaling up for the CVNs and new CGNs, so they used various means to divert manpower flow from subs to surface. Thus, I ended up on a vessel designed to submerge only once.

You make only one post a year? and you want us to believe you're just 25? Your post count is a dead givaway as to your true age if you do only make one post a year. (aka a "yearly" post)

Cheers!
