Submariner Duty After School

Why do you think nuclear missle equipped subs are called boomers? I'll tell ya, you soft gen x and y'ers . We kids in the 50s & 60s not only had to do our homework with out even a frickin' calculator let alone a computer, but before dinner we had to save the country from nazis, commies and space aliens. Every kid was equipped to the teeth, locked and loaded let me tell ya. I still have some of those nukes somewhere..or did I give them to the kid down the street.....
