My brother spent six years in the Navy, and five of those years was spent in a submarine.
We got letters from them often, and wish we got a even more. I love the letters he would send me, because it was explained to me all the things he was doing on the submarine. Although he had never expressed any interest in HVAC, once he got into the onto the submarine, that is exactly what he was doing. He said that when a submarine is underwater, fresh air is a necessity. He was one to help keep airflow in the submarine to supply the fresh air. The HVAC system had to be working perfectly in order for the airflow and ventilation to work properly. His first year in the Navy, was spent learning all about HVAC and ventilation. When he got his HVAC certification to work on submarines and ships, he was also able to work on houses. He spent a good bit of his first year working on the buildings on the Navy base. When it came time for him to come home permanently, I was the only one he told. He left it up to me to keep the secret, but to make sure our parents were home. I was getting more excited is that day came, and it was all I could do to keep the secret. When I heard the taxi pull up outside, I looked outside to make sure it was my brother. Mom and dad were in the back yard working on the barbecue grill when I ran out and gave my big brother a hug. We walked out back and Iasked if somebody had ordered an HVAC technician?
