[Sub Sailor]

My nickname is Sub Sailor. I am retired from the Navy after 24 years and retired as a Master Chief Machinist Mate (SS), I became a teacher and retired about 4 years ago from teaching.
I reside In the mountains of Idaho, where I fly fish, hunt, camp and in the winter I play sims, most generlly subs. I do try to learn the MH-60 and the P-3 in DW, I crash quite well. My real love is subs, I spent many years on them-in the 60s and 70s.
I will try to be a valued member of this site.

Repectfully,

Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)

Hi! I'm kinda new in here too. God u must be old enough to be my dad or my grand dad! It must be a living dream working aboard one those subs. What do u work abroad in? SSKs or SSNs? I have a dream to earn a dolphin some day too! :) Welcome aboard mate!

[Sub Sailor]

Well I am probably that old, but it beats the alternative, I am 65. I was on SSNs and SSBN. You want Dolphins get an edcucation and enlist, volunteer for sub duty and you are on your way. I was nuclear trained but eventually became Chief of The Boat. I loved sub duty and I would do it again. I am a very lucky man I have only had two jobs in my life-the Navy and Educator and I loved them both.
I am betting I am old enough to be your Grand Father.

Best of luck,

Ron Banks MMCM(SS),USN(Ret)

But if you can't wait I got one word for you: EBAY :wink:
(But the price for this pair is probably a rip off IMHO.)

welcome to the board both of you! :biggrin:

Hee yeah, your certainly old enough to be my grandfather. I certainly hope my results are good enough for me to enter into a good college. Then I'll be on my way to silent service, or at least in the navy. I don't really know what's the criteria for selection in my country though. Besides we own 4 rusty old Swedish subs & I'm just wondering if they're just good enough to protect the sea lanes... :frown:

Welcome abord Ron.
I think I have already heard about you in other sites.
We are organizing regular matches here and you will be very welcomed.
Of course since I drive FFG would surely be not very confortable to have a very experienced Sub driver (real life and in Sims) on the OPFOR but would be surely interesting.
This site is very interesting and you will find it very eaguer to ideas and proposals.
Also the all info about how to drive the subs better would be interesting, even for us the skimmers :tongue:
Welcome aboard!!!

[SKeeM]

Wlcome aboard M8! And dont qorry M8 im an old fuck too. It will be quite handy to have you around here.

I want to thank all of you very much for the warm welcome. I will try and be a worthy member of this forum.
I am starting to develop missions and will post some as as I figure out how. I am recreating ops I was on, except we did not sink anyone obviousley, but what might have happended.

I have a lot to learn don't know how to incoparte wave sounds yet or radio messages, but the first thing I must do is learn how to post on these sites.

Thank again for the warm welcome,

Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)

Hey guys since guess its about time i said hi the obvious thanks go out to all the people who make the CADW possible (i dont wanna miss anyone so i won't name names, but you know who you are) :you_rock:

a little about me: im just now getting used to the fact that im over 30 , does that mean i cant trust myself its all confusing, profesionally up till now ive been an audio engineer, roadie, entertainment tech, and i live in Las Vegas and no i wont take you backstage to meet the showgirls (unless bribed), Currently im tying to make a shift into game development as a hobby or new career path

Wanted to respond to Sub Sailor bout the mission editing if you need help please contact me icq or msn there on most of the day also if by chance you havent found it subsim is full of answers here's the link

http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=37&sid=3d289dd2208fa9ebdcee628adce9b196

im sure all the mis devs would love to geet there hands on your real life accounts myself included, if you waant to keep them to yourself til you make the mis its understood any help you need development testing my doors always open, that goes for all of you out there:wink:

[Sub Sailor]

Oh heck guys I will post some and you can modify them anyway you want. I have no problem at all if some of you really sharp desingers take one of my crude attempts and make them into a really good mission.
I would just like to see us keep improving DW and SC, and of course I will lean towards subs, especially US Subs.
So never fear on something I post and one of you make it better or completely rebuilding it, one of the advantage of getting older, and others on this forum will tell you, ego ain't a big problem after 60.

Been there done that,

Ron Banks MMCM(SS), USN(Ret)
