It’s a Blueforge sub trade assoc outreach …. slick ad

i actually got to drive/steer the USS Tennessee. no shit. spent the night on it. bunks were between the nuke silos. feet rested on it. obv couldn't sleep, so went up top with men on watch and just watched the sea, ships, and stars. hearing them announce to nearby ships they were the USS Warship Tennessee and then order them to change course steering them further away gave me goosebumps - still does. a b1 bomber was doing exercises and saw us and they probably aren't used to them being above sea level often so it no shit made a dive towards us fucking around. we did go under, capt would only say we could do 800 feet which is where we went and did V shaped turns a few times and then surfaced again. remarkable young men serving on those things.
This was a Norwegian cruise excursion? You gotta explain the circumstances that had you on board.

From twitter spaces to submarine trips. Personally, I love this type of conversation.

We invited 2 couples to stay for the weekend in NH on the lake. We are all more acquaintances than good friends. Each couple would filter into the kitchen for breakfast and we would meet on the deck to eat. We have a round table that overlooked the lake.

In turns out we sat at that table from morning until after dinner for nearly 3 days. We only took one boat ride a day to break up what turned out a weekend round table marathon. One subject begat another and the quality of conversation was top top. We have plenty of diversions up there but nobody wanted to move. It was really quite unique.

I suspect collectively we are gonna just let that experience simply rest there and not attempt to duplicate that magic weekend.

You and BCR def could carry off that sort of round table
