My older brother was a Submariner, active duty around 65 - 66 I think-- shrimpy little guy in High School, but the Navy put a little meat on his bones. He grew out of his boot camp issue dungaree shirts, and sent them home to his baby sister--I had his old Bluejacket's manual too. -Right next to my Girl Scout handbook. Ahhhh- there's just something about a man/woman in uniform LOL! Thanks for welcoming me aboard- I'll post one of me "back in the day" when I was Paula Johnson, USN
