Welcome to the forum! Hope the Yukon treats you right but if it doesnt this crew will help you out. All navy family here, our nuke is currently in Kings Bay!

Maybe you can answer. Doesn't nukes have a 6 year active enlistment?

Yep 4+2 for nuke training and as far as I can tell retention and manning is a still a problem. I did a tiger cruise with my son and yep, not for me! The crew, however, was really top notch. Full props to our silent service bubbas!

I was just the opposite. At 6'4" there was never a consideration of being on a sub. Too tall. I went 180 degrees the opposite way and was on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk CV-63. Lots of noise generated there. The most fascinating thing I ever saw and still is to this day, is flight ops on the carrier deck. Launching jets on the foredeck and recovering jets on the angle deck, at the same time. I would still be using one word to describe if asked, just WOW!

Welcome aboard! Lots of great people and good information here on this forum. Mods do a good job of keeping the bs to a minimum. Beautiful area of NC! We race every year in Morehead City and I spent some time at the lovely Camp Lejeune as a young man.
In my opinion these older trucks are well worth the time and money to keep on the road. The new ones are expensive and not exactly trouble-free. Good luck with your project!
