Terre,

I was Calhoun Blue from launch (plank

owner) and went through all sea trials and 5 patrols all from  ton.  I was  NAVET (worked on navdac). 

Reported from  Damneck as ETR3 and left as ET1(SS).  I Was on the USS Odax for

a month or two before discharge.  I have a list of both blue and gold commissioning

crews if you are trying to remember someone from the Calhoun.  I still drink 10

cups of coffee a day (more or less).  My youngest son was an MT on the Will

.

Ken,

I was on the USS Sam Rayburn SSBN 635 Gold crew. Also from 1964 to 1969. She

was the only boat I was on. We operated out of ton

and Rota.

I knew someone on the Calhoun but I can't remember who. I'm also a member of

the Rayburn's Vets. I tried to join the Boynton

Beach, Fl Sub vets but haven't gotten a response yet.

I'll get in contact again soon. I was a nuc MM and ELT.

Our coffee had a timed water line from the still. The water was timed to shut

off when the drip pot was full. Nuclear powered coffee. Were those fizzy things

protons?

Wally,

Welcome to another SUB Sailor.  I have to

disagree about the diesel boats.  I was only on the USS Odax for a couple of

months but ruined every set of whites I owned and my wife said I smelled of

diesel fuel for months after I got off.  I was on the Calhoun at Newport News

Shipbuilding and remember a lot of the construction dust including asbestos

from the lagging.  I never remember wearing a respirator or mask.  On one of the

Calhoun patrols we had a bad freon leak from an airconditioner and were never

able to get the levels down to normal.  I have often wondered what those things

did to my lungs.  I also remember playing with mercury from thermometers and

coating coins to make them shine back in the 50’s and melting lead to

make fishing lures.  It is a wonder I survived my childhood.

Any more SubVets out there?
