I avoid if I can, but if I need to go, I go and pack heavy. Average person can draw and fire center of mass once in about 4-5 seconds. Im going to a guy who says he will have that down to less than one second and multiple center of mass hits in 4 or 5 seconds. Loading the ammo now...

Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say.
"Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Edna would say.
"I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said. "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Edna replied. "Fred that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said.
"Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."
Fred and Edna agreed and up they go.
The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word.
They land and the pilot turns to Fred.
"By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Fred replied. "Well, I was going to say something when Edna fell out of the plane, but ten dollars is ten dollars

Funny you would ask, just finished that one! sort of the same format as the "Oak Island" one but entertaining.

Dave was telling me that they had a small collection tank onboard. You had to come up to almost periscope depth before you dumped it because the pumps used to jettison the load wouldn't work any deeper, and that sea water under pressure would back fill the tanks and blow the "brown water" back into the boat. Yuck.
Yes the smell is awful and hard to get out of your nose especially when the boat first came in. It’s kinda a cross between BO and diesel fuel like a cannabis I don’t wantYou never took a shower while deployed? Phew!
He was reminiscing on how you quickly learned to take showers while on patrol. He said you walked into the shower, pushed the button, got wet as quickly as you could and got lathered up. The shower would stop after a few seconds. You went ahead scrubbing your hair and other spots, then hit the button again for the rinse. If you didn't get all the soap off, too bad. You didn't get the third push. You quickly learned just how much soap you could get away with using and still be able to get it all rinsed off.
The boat was allowed x amount of gallons per day. If you went over said amount, they would suspend showers and laundry for three days. He said the sub he was on always had a funny smell to it, but after three days of no showers and dirty laundry, it had a really nasty funk about it.
People really strived NOT to go over the daily water allotment.
I would leave my stinky clothes and boots at the back door and wash them separately. That was kind of a smell of money to me at the time tho…

Now look at Hippie smile
One morning I was standing in line at the grocery, looked down and noticed my shirt was on inside out. Thought about whipping it off, turning right side out, but just powered through. Not the most embarrassing thing I've done, but notable.

Like a dirty Submarine
The smell.
When nuclear submarines are at sea they mostly remain submerged with a sealed atmosphere. Part of the atmosphere control system functions are to remove carbon dioxide (CO2), since a build-up of carbon dioxide can become fatal. To remove the carbon dioxide submarines use a chemical called amine. When amine is cool it absorbs carbon dioxide and when hot will release it. So the amine is cycled through a machine referred to as a CO2 Scrubber, which will alternately heat and cool the carbon dioxide and pushes the gas into the ocean, keeping the atmosphere breathable.
This is a very effective system, with the downside being the amine imparts a rather “unique” smell into the atmosphere. Which ultimately permeates every part of the submarine interior including crew members clothing and even their skin.
In addition to the amine smell, submarine crews are exposed to cooking odors, hydraulic oil vapors, diesel exhaust that isn’t quite captured by the diesel exhaust system, inboard venting of the sanitary tanks, and the smell of a large number of closely confined people. The interiors become quite fragrant. Crew members become accustomed to it and after a while never notice it. But other people do.
When I was attached to a submarine I had reason to fly home for vacation wearing my civilian clothes. I was sitting in my plane seat next to an older lady, chatting a bit, and suddenly she asked me “are you on submarines?” Surprised, I asked “yes, how did you know?” She replied “my husband was on submarines. I’ll never forget the smell.”
