When Tommy Cox and I went into the Fleet, we both were involved, immediately, with the Cuban Missile Crisis, along with the others in our class. In my case as a green, just graduated RT type in the first NSA precursor to CTI “A” School training, I was assigned to the USS Wahoo. For those unfamiliar with those days...WWIII was a reality, and just around the corner! The first deployment is the hardest; and in my case, it hooked me for twenty years. The Spooky part? Wahoo was stationed, to stop all units of the enemy, in the exact same spot where its namesake, the WWII Wahoo had been lost to the Japanese! I learned all about Submarine superstition from the greatest Diesel boat crew in the Pac; and learned the value of my training from the best DirSup crew at Kami Seya. Both are worthy of sharing.
