Though this question may have been asked in the past the information I could find was scarce at best. It’s to my understanding that submariners generally do less travelling than their surface fleet counterparts, and if you get drafted to bombers then runs ashore are virtually non existent.
However to those have served, or are currently serving, what are the travel oppourtnities like as a submariner? I’ve heard Crete mentioned, along with Brest and Gibraltar. I’ve read from some of the more saltier among you here who have went all over the place in years gone by but I’m unsure if that’s as common nowadays, even on SSNs. Does the lack of travel and runs ashore bother many submariners? And of course what can you expect in the ways of travel within the silent service these days?
I’m applying myself as an ET(MESM) and still have my heart set on boats regardless, but would be interested to hear the opinions and tales of others. Cheers!
