Wow! Wouldn't be suprised if we worked the same boats. I worked boomers at Newport News, including overhauls on the Daniel Boone (SSBN 659) and Techumseh (SSBN 656?). Also worked new construction on Los Angeles Class fast attacks including the Los Angeles and the Chicago. Since then have been with the same company, Sargent & Lundy in Chicago, and have spent the entire duration designing and installing mods for various nuclear generating plants across the US, but mostly in Illinois.
That's cool! What industry do you work in. I'm in the power industry, have worked for the same large consulting firm for the last (almost) 24 years. Four years prior to that as a civilian reactor test engineer on US Navy nuclear submarines.
