At random: The late Capt. Don Ulmer, USN SS (Ret.), and noted submarine author, began his military career by enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1947 and in 1949 while serving as an electrical technician E-4 aboard the submarine USS Clamagore, he was transferred to the Naval Academy. When he asked his commanding officer why he was being sent to Annapolis, the skipper replied, "I don't think you're smart enough to make E-5 and I need the bunk space." Ulmer graduated in 1954 and in 1967 returned to command Clamagore, possibly the only officer to command a U.S. warship having served on it as an enlisted man.

My thought exactly, Tom! I'm unsure whether it's good to have him back ... or time to be afraid - very afraid.

Better get one of those disposable cameras, Don. Can't be too careful. I've seen the clean shaven version and it's not an improvement.
PING!

Unfortunately, I won't likely make a monthly until Sept or so since my team practices on Wed's now (I figure skating's better for my ticker than guzzling, er, rootbeer)

Maybe he's trying to look like you Don, put a pair of dark glasses on his pix and turn it 45% left and its almost a perfect match.
(now that would be a compliment, I think)

What a rare sighting - the third leg of the worst-sounding trio on the planet! Man, when you go deep, you don't screw around!

One would think you discovered girls for the first time or something - what other excuse could you have for abandoning your shipmates for so long????

It is kinda reassuring (in a sick way) to see you back, Ric.

You got that right Bill... sometimes you really shouldn't turn over that big rock to see what's under it!
