At random: Insignia of the Navy's submarine service is a submarine flanked by two dolphins. Dolphins, or porpoises, the traditional attendants to Poseidon, Greek God of the Sea and patron deity of sailors, are symbolic of a calm sea, and are sometimes called the 'sailors' friend. In addition to the Dolphins, those World War II submariners who participated in successful combat patrols may wear the coveted Submarine Combat Insignia.

Subject: It's been 50 years...

Fifty years ago, on Oct.9, I raised my hand and repeated an oath, and away I went of RTC San Diego. I had no idea at the time what a wonderful journey I had begun. My only question now is where in the hell did the years go????

And a damn fine effort it was to get this far Sir!

At least the memories remain even if some Bastard has stolen the years!!
