When you understand
When the hatch closes over your head, the OOD says last man down and the COW says green board, you understand the meaning of adventure.When the only thing between you and millions of gallons of seawater is a steel hull and some closed valves, you understand the meaning of courage.
When sonar calls out to the conn “high speed screws in the water” in hostile waters, you understand the meaning of fear.
When the messenger passes out the only family grams the satellite could catch and yours isn’t one, you learn the meaning of loneliness.
When hissing water in the overhead turns from a slight annoyance to a terrifying rushing cascade bouncing off the hull and equipment, you understand the meaning of survival.
When you hear the quick sound that a curtain makes on your rack that indicates your watch is about to begin, you understand the meaning of irritation.
When you see a brother stand at attention while the Captain pins on the fish he worked so hard to earn, you understand the meaning of pride.
When you retire and they pipe you over the side for the very last time, you learn the meaning of great sadness.
When your eyes grow dim and your strength ebbs with age, you understand the meaning of envy every time you see submarine getting underway.
When a shipmate from a time so long ago passes on and people say so many things they wish they had said before they departed, you understand regret.

A bottle of red
She was anything but plain. Her smile wasn’t something that was a simple half drawn line on a face, it was complex and changeable. You could see an inner beauty, a beautiful human being. She was someone who knew how to love and how to give.
Physically, her hair was flowing and reached around her shoulders. She had beautiful brown hair that she dyed a bright shade of red. She invoked a certain control over her own body, and this allowed her to internally know this was her personality.
But inside she was hurting, she was in love with a man who was rejecting her, her home was filled with drug users, and she was working a minimum wage job and had no transportation to escape.
There was a man who knew of her problems, and he believed he could save her. He wanted to give a small piece of his heart to her even though he knew that they would never really be. -
Wow, this is a great morning! #happysunday
