We usually shift to some Youtube music about this time each night, getting ready for Makers Mark time (well she does Bombay Gin).  The videos that pop up change from night to night. 

When I saw this one I said, "Right On!".   

Its only four minutes log but every bit of it is factual and they way it was (at least back in the early 70's)

Especially the part about demeanor and interactions.   Anyway.   In case you are interested.

It appears the full video is here but I don't have an account.  Well look and see what I can find.

A friend from high school became a nuclear tech and served on the USS Flying Fish. Only a very few stores were ever shared. Never knew when we going to see each other, he’d just call once he was back in town. He ended up working for nuclear power plants in Minnesota. He was always a “bit” different.

USS Patrick Henry, Nuc Reactor Operator.  We did three months on and three months off, only 60 days at sea out of the 90 other 30 was making sure the boat was ready for the next 60.  Three knots at XXX feet.
