NAMPA, Idaho, Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Chris
Thompson, a farm boy who joined the US Navy and went into submarine
service during the end of the Vietnam War, a seaman gang group
leader, a "striker" for A-Gang as a machinist's mate, and a
dedicated Navy serviceman, has completed his new book "Stories on a
Submarine": a riveting anecdote of the author's background in
service of the country by being a member of the US Navy Submarine
Service.
Author Thompson shows that despite being burdened by work
pressure, one can find ways to lighten up and have a little fun to
ease the tension: "Such was the birth of the pool begun two days
before we pulled into port in Mayport
FLA. during the famous 'flex-ops' for boomers late in the
'70's. Ten dollars got you in. Your
job? Find the ugliest woman you could with in eight hours of the
commencement of liberty and return with her to the Peppermint
Lounge near the base gate by 1600hrs. The Peppermint lounge was
known for its line of male entertainment better understood as
strippers. The originator of the pool was familiar with the area as
his wife and her family were locals. Mind you, he was 100% faithful
to her as far as I know, even under circumstances I thought were
outside the realm of self-restraint. He had his strategy all lined
up though, and it was TOP SECRET. Another in my division was in the
pool and he, known as the dwarf for reasons other than his height,
had his own strategy. In any event it was sure to be a contest you
didn't want to miss as the competitive spirit overtook the entire
liberty section."
