US Navy Submarines as an Electronics Technician (Nuclear-Field type). I got out on a hardship. The years of service were between 1987-1992 and I did most of my sea time out of Groton, CT.

Heh, I'm color blind. For some reason they wouldn't let me into electronics or EOD...

Hey diverbrian, you may have known my brother Jim. He's was on the Pittsburgh, 688-class, but spent a few years in Groton. I think he was a nuke instructor.

I wouldn't know without knowing where he instructed precisely. But I served my last couple of years on Pittsburgh's sister ship (the Providence). Actually those where a second flight 688-class.

I ran into someone who served on the boat one hull number up from my first boat as well (that was a decomissioning job).

We served in Groton at the same time. I was there from Feb. 87 till Dec. 89 All on the Shark SSN-591. We were usually tied up at the first or second pier. I seem to remember the Providence. Dont remember anyone off her though.
