It was the Green Bay Packers. Practice was going bad and Coach Lombardi was fuming. The atmosphere was very tense as he started lambasting the team. When he said "this is a football," Paul Hornung responded, "slow down, Coach, your going too fast." Everybody laughed, including the coach and that broke the tension.
At least that's how I heard the story.

I thought I heard that once you've been on a sub for an extended period of time, you aren't put on again. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you expound a little? I'd spent eight of my 13 years on sea duty, which was merely "above average" compared to others I know.

We also need more personnel to man the boats. Especially nukes.

I mean in particular serving in a sub as opposed to anything else because of the unique environment. Did I just make that up in my head? Maybe it was that there's a limit to how long you could serve on a sub for a given amount of time.

Ha ha. I thought you were joking.

Why is the article dated a year ago today?

Oh no, there's no written time limit that I'm aware of. You may be thinking of a sea/shore rotation, which are guidelines on how long someone must serve on a ship before they're eligible for shore duty. The intent of that was just the opposite though - to limit shore duty rather than sea duty.

not Flambeau... It's really Lambert Field. John Kerry said so.

Probably never. I'm not a football historian, and I'm relating this from a story I heard 17 years ago.
To: Bottom_Gun
It was nuts ten years ago. I imagine it's a lot worse these days.

My elder son is a Navy nuke and he says the pace is killing and he is a young man in the peak of health. Hundred + hour weeks exhaust everyone.

The subs have alternating crews and the men serve each alternative time period subject to being at sea. My son will be joining the USS Ohio next month for his turn.

That's sure going to help national security a lot. Jerk!!!

The subs have alternating crews and the men serve each alternative time period subject to being at sea. That's only true for the 14 Trident SSBN's.
Fast Attacks (SSN) only have a single crew.
