My brother served on a nuclear sub out of Conn. I thought I heard that once you've been on a sub for an extended period of time, you aren't put on again. Is that true? I'm just wondering if he would be on one of these subs.

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.

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.
