I've worked with submariners who were colleagues when I was in engineering and I found them great colleagues. They documented their work carefully, were precise in their language (although colorful), and didn't accept anything less than excellence on their team. Never had one as a boss, but I feel like I'd get along fine.
That said, I would never make it on a submarine myself.
- EricE 5y agoIndeed - I have a very good friend who was a reactor operator on a sub - and I still can’t visualize him doing that. He’s pretty much the opposite of descriptions like these which I guess proves the point that generalizations are just that - generalizations and not hard or fast rules. And nope, I would never make it on a sub either. Two years of ROTC pretty much ruled out any military service for me - let alone on a sub. But I’m grateful for those who are willing and choose to serve in those roles.
