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.

'Rember the good old days when we'd go months without much hoopla and then everything, everywhere was ablaze about a pearl necklace stain on a blue dress. I miss the good old days, and laughter, I miss laughter.

On our boat we had a second class as our Doc. Nice guy, but the empty Ripple wine bottles that rolled in rough seas bothered me. I think the worst thing we had was an infected finger. After Westpac we got a1st class. I guess they would be able to do an appendicitis in an emergency.
