I remember once reading about the retired Submariners not lasting that long due to exposure to high CO2 levels. Also claimed it contributed to baldness. Congratulations on hanging around this long. | ||

Great Sage of the Sea Posts: 619 | Subject: RE: Holland Club So where's my challenge coin? I've been Holland Club since 2001. Is it due to my reputation as a fomenter of hate and discontent? | ||

Plankowner Posts: 9152 Location: Upper lefthand corner of the map. | Subject: RE: Holland Club ... a good question, are coins going to be retro issued? Do you have to ask for one? I can't answer that. | ||

Master and Commander Posts: 1454 | Subject: RE: Holland Club As I posted, mine was retroactive from 3 years ago. I believe the coins came from USSVI to our base. Our guy was asked how many were needed. | ||
