In the 60's the Nautilus was spending so much time at the pier that the Sub
Base started using it as a temporary barracks for sailors being discharged in
the coming months.
One morning the XO was introducing one of these sailors when someone from the
back asked how long he was going to be on the boat? "Just a couple of months."
he replied.

on here anymore is short timers and misfits."
A voice came out of the crowd, "Hey chief which one are you?"
