Some things I found while Surfing

	One big diffrence about us that wear the fish and the guys that wear the wings.
	Navy regulations prohibit a pilot from flying a $8 million fighter with no less
	than 8hrs sleep time, while there is nothing wrong with a submariner operating
	the reactor on a $700 million submarine who has gone without sleep for 36 hrs.

		And those Dolphins, they leave marks on your chest,
		right over your heart, long after the uniforms have been put away.
		Once you have earned them, you will always wear them,
		and you will always be recognized as a submariner by the submarine community.
