Would you like to regenerate the title as well as the summary?
I joined the Navy Sept. 3, 1968, boot camp and A school at San Diego NTC, then 8 weeks of sub school and a short stay on the SSN-584 to qualify in submarines, then 6 months of classroom Navy Nuclear Power School in Vallejo, CA & 6 more months of prototype training at Arco, ID. Then 3 patrols on the SSBN-600 in Connecticut and 6 more patrols on SSBN-624 out of Charlestown, SC. Left the Navy as an IC1(SS) in late March, 1968.
When I went to BC in ’91, they had separate male and female companies. I’d say “co-ed,” but that makes it sound like guys and gals were mixed together in the same unit—which wasn’t the case. One of our company commanders was a woman. Pretty sure her monthly visitor never missed a rotation… sheesh.
Or the hammer in your toolbox!
Oh wow… that’s impressive! Making it through Nuke School takes serious gray matter between the ears. I knew plenty who didn’t make the cut. And serving on a sub? That takes a whole different level of mental discipline. An attack sub would be intense enough—but I couldn’t imagine pulling duty on a boomer.

After hurricane Michael I discovered 3 holes in the front cap. Called insurance co. Quotes were from 10K$ to 12K$.
Can you get comprehensive insurance again after being totaled? If not that needs to be counted into the financial decision.
The BIG question here is how much do you value of 3 days skilled labor
Funny, you ask that. Once I did the buyback, they never canceled my insurance and I have continued to pay the policy. I think it’s like $100 - $200 a year. I often wonder if I have another claim if they’re gonna try to push back. I figure since they’re taking my premium they know that I did a buyback. They would have to cover it or worst case deny it and give me all of my premium money back. If the premium was 1000s of year, I obviously wouldn’t do this for one or $200 a year whatever.
In a scenario like whiteva's, the RV was never "totaled", i.e. sold for salvage. It was merely repaired, so the answer is unequivocally Yes. But if the insurer pays out for a total loss, then the insurer has bought the Rv (has title) and will surely flag it as "sold for salvage" when he turns it over to someone else. THAT can and likely will give pause to any future insurer. So try to make a deal with the insurer to accept the max repair payment just short of what would total it. That way it doesn't get officially totaled. If you tell him you want to keep the RV, a cooperative adjuster can help you do that by walking a fine line on repair cost vs salvage. But if the adjuster is an employee of the insurer rather than a subcontractor, it's often hard to deal. It's also hard to do if there is a loan lien in place, because the lien holder will insist on seeing the RV fully repaired before releasing the insurance check.
I,ll go $10K for 3 days labor on most any project.
No, but Orland was the only place that trained female recruits. I was there in 1982, C080.
Lemme get this straight. You started in Sept of '68 and time traveled back to March of '68 doing all that career stuff along the way. Okay.
Typo!
It should say, Sept. of 1960! But it's too late to edit in now.
The Adjuster showed up today from Progressive and said he thinks it's totaled, but it's right on the edge so he needs to crunch the numbers first. He was a good guy - someone I can actually work with. I trust him to do it right.
1960! That makes way more sense. I was gonna say, you look pretty good for someone who's been working since they were negative 8 months old.Typo!
