Probably a lot worse than our average quarantine: no view of the outside, no fresh food, no way to 'escape' temporarily by going for groceries. Working on and off shifts sharing your sleeping bunk with another shipmate, little possibility for leasure, no Netflix, PS4, home cooking or spending more quality time with your family.

- zentiggr 7y agoActually submarine fleet gets a bit better food than the rest. Toward the end of a long underway, things can get a bit odd, but I was never truly disappointed in the food. You find other escapes - I bought my own laptop at the Exchange and taught myself Linux from the install CD up on one deployment. If you're senior enough, you get your own rack. Perks :) And once you're off watch, there's routine to do but after that you have your own music, games if you like, movie nights (voting gets weird sometimes), read, we even made up a Stellar Conquest type game once, played out on paper, one turn per watch rotation. The family thing could be a big deal but I was already pretty estranged from my very small number of relatives, so wasn't much for me. YMMV.
