Submarines aren't inherently a bad deal though they're certainly not for everyone.

Lots of people on subs like their jobs.

None of those people are nukes.

MT seemed like a good rating to me. Push button e4, trident submarine guaranteed, not nuclear power... best rating is trident cone ET

I always have this dream where I can be like the avionics tech rep on an aircraft carrier, make friends with the FCs and gain access to their sponsons and not have a chain of command outside of Corporate.

I think I know the exact dude you’re referring to and that’s basically the best way to be on an aircraft carrier

Our radiomen did jack poo poo in port but got pretty busy at sea. I heard the new room on the Virginia's is much nicer than the poo poo a 688 space was

Yes. Slavic Crime Boat by name narrows him down to like 12 ships in the entire world's shipping index. Roman is the only super paranoid one, to the point he has anti-pap technology installed on the craft to prevent photo surveillance. Google meta-crawls SA.com. Carry on.
