As a truck driver I lived in NJ, NYC, LA, Chitcago for several years, in one day.
Too many times!😁



Redneck,
Stupid question time.
How often, and for how long, does a sub go into a foreign port?
Or do they mostly just hit American bases?

Germany. Holland, Germany again, the Sahara, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia. All interesting but Germany was the best; alas, all on orders

England, '75 to '78. Back when the British understood what the U.S. did for them in WWII. VIA orders, I volunteered to go...

Japan for 8 years and Germany for 2 years. Just found my Jagdschein (German hunting license) in my armchair. Brought back some good memories. Many other places for shorter stays. Some pleasant, some not so much. I'm home now.

Except, maybe, for a trip to Namibia this July...

Better question might be who lived over seas on their own dime and not under orders.

Why?

To justify his life choices.

3 1/2 years on Okinowa with a few months TYD to the PI for Cope Thunders and Guam.

Spearfishing 3-5 times a week is not all bad.

Lived in Germany for a little over 3 years.

It was a hoot going to all of the historic places there and in Italy and Austria.

The Marine Corps sent me a lot of places. Those don’t count for me. Lived in Sweden for 3 years and Abu Dhabi for 4 post service in contract aviation work. To me, it is a much different and raw experience when you don’t have a base or the USG support to live off and you have to navigate it all by yourself with minimal company support.
