Re: Veterans What was your best assignment/duty?

My second boat, the USS Hartford (SSN-768), earns the title for me. As part of the initial manning crew I took her through a bunch of "once in a lifetime" events.

I launched her into the Thames river, was a watchstander for the first time we took the reactor critical, and got to be the throttleman for the emergency crash back test during initial sea trials. (Imagine driving a corvette on the highway and throwing it into reverse... it's kinda like that)
