Title: Re: Connecticut, here I come! Post by: NAKID on May 08, 2008, 05:01:56 PM Yes, I will be a submariner. On subs, there is only one medical provider. No doctors, no nurses, one person, an enlisted Hospital Corpsman with specialized training to be able to deal with just about any type of medical condition. All of this hundreds of feet below the surface with no contact to the outside world. That's one of the reasons the training is so long, it's VERY intensive.
So, anyone near the Groton/New London area? Title: Re: Connecticut, here I come! Post by: cyrus buelton on May 08, 2008, 05:21:28 PM So, anyone near the Groton/New London area?

Title: Re: Connecticut, here I come! Post by: TiNi on May 13, 2008, 02:57:33 AM CT is a small state....
i live on the opposite side of the state from where you're going to be, and it would only take about an hour to get there... the climate is very humid compared to where you're coming from... i suggest A/C to acclimate your family... Title: Re: Connecticut, here I come! Post by: NAKID on May 13, 2008, 08:25:57 AM The wife is currently looking into apartments in the Groton area. It's looking hard to find a place that accepts dogs let alone has a garage for the bike...

Post by: NAKID on May 14, 2008, 07:24:14 PM I got a story for you.
When I was on my aircraft carrier, I was the one responsible for putting out the condoms before we hit a port. I got a funny idea to put out three boxes with Small Medium and Large. Guess which one emptied first?! [laugh] One day, someone came and told me that the Large box was empty. So I went to refill it, by grabbing a couple handfuls from the Small box...
