I've been thinking about getting some guys together who would be willing to donate to sailors who are on submarines. Being as how I just did 5 years, and now I'm teaching the new sailors going out to the sub it's a subject that's pretty close to my heart. We are only allowed to go "topside" (out in the open air) a rare handful of times - so it's a nice treat to see the sunshine, smoke a cigar, smell fresh air. It's always cause for celebration.
I'm still friends with a lot of the guys on the boat, one of whom is always wearing the smiley ballcap with the cigar in it's mouth. If anyone is interested in this I could get some people together. I could mail them out with the emails of everyone who donated so they could write back their thanks.
If you want to do it let me know! Don't send anything my way yet until I can see if anyone is interested.
