Oh, how I truly enjoyed "bring your wife to work day."
It is a rare occasion that family members are allowed to go out to sea with their sailor, and I took advantage. They let us shoot a torpedo slug, climb into the torpedo tubes, eat lunch in the ward room, and let us look out the periscope (I saw a whale spout).
It was sweet.

Here I am preparing to climb into the torpedo tube...
And I shot the torpedo...and then prepared for a fire drill.
This is "angles and dangles."
They take the boat to 25 degree up and down angles.

Hot Mama in the Engineer's rack. Yes, that is where George sleeps. Ridiculous.
The best part of the experience was that it made me truly appreciate all of the hard work that goes into running a fast attack submarine. I had some major pride in my sailor when he had the deck and the con and was in charge of diving the boat. They should let women onto subs...men shouldn't be the only ones who get the really sweet jobs. I'm filing a discrimination law suit.
